6. Adding User Registration and Comment Support

The next step in developing our site is to provide readers with the ability to submit comments. Recall that our site design requires readers to create a user account in order to post comments. We will leverage OpenCms to manage the user accounts and will discuss the OpenCms security model along the way. We will then go over the code for registering users and adding the comments to our XML documents. Also in our code discussions, we will go over how to manipulate and publish content programmatically.
