title: A blog engine to integrate with a java app. Which blog engine?
body: <p>I have to setup a blog engine that "has to be integrated with a java app". These are my requirements, I'm not kidding. The java app is a web app that serves very dynamically changed content.</p>
  
  <p>What exactly the blog and this app are going to exchange - I do not know, because my client doesn't know. (yes, I know, my client is ..., but this is the case).</p>
  
  <p>I think I have two options: a java blog engine and wordpress.</p>
  
  <p>Wordpress is popular, stable, customizable, ..., but in PHP.
  Java blogs are not popular, but in Java.</p>
  
  <p>In a previous project I was using a .NET blog, called dasBlog, it was not popular and not easily customizable. I don't want to make that mistake again.</p>
  
  <p>If I can be able to fully control a Wordpress blog (publish posts, edit sidebar contents, make wordpress ask me for content for a sidebar, ...) via JAX-RPC or REST and if that is straightforward, maybe I would choose Wordpress.</p>
  
  <p>What do you think?</p>
