Sharepoint intergration

[Gandaric]

Greetings all,

I've got a problem.
My company has a webportal made in JAVA/J2EE and a portal in MS SharePoint.
Now they want met to put sharepoint into my JAVA portal.
I've been looking all over for information, but all i find is: making web parts, customising parts.
What i am looking for is to "export" functions from sharepoint and use them in my JAVA portal.

Any suggestions?
everything is welcome.

Ignoring the obvious incompatibilities, what exactly is it that they want you to do? Do they want you to mimic Sharepoint functionality in your Java portal (possible with a lot of dev work)? Or do they want you to run Sharepoint within your portal (ugh)? Aside from frames, I don't know a clean way to effect this.

they want to mimic sharepoint functionality within the java portal and combine the use of the sharepoint database and the vast knowledge database already linked to the java portal

Sounds like you have a lot of programming to do.

i think so to, but i'm looking for documentation or books on how to do this.
I'm not a very gifted programmer, so any help is welcome.

If the knowledge database consists of a document collection, I don't think it'd be a stretch to migrate to SPS. But then you have to consider what's been invested in your current portal; what underlying Web server technology you can use; what functions in your current portal aren't native to Sharepoint; and what functions the management considers valuable in Sharepoint that you might duplicate in your own portal. I'd be leery of going down this path at all if management has simply picked up on SPS as a technology buzzword, and doesn't understand the costs of migration in either direction.
