In this talk we give an overview about some special integration and extensibility problems which occurred in our projects so far and the way how they could be solved with Magnolia. This covers some examples like customization of the admin interface and workflows as well as issues concerning authentication via LDAP / SSO or document management. On a more technical side of things, we will present a system architecture for handling high-volume User Generated Content traffic, e.g. large amounts of page-comments being submitted in short time. The purpose of this architecture is to ensure CMS availability during such UGC peak loads. This will be followed by an application demo showing an integration of the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) within the Magnolia 4.3 admin-interface, here used for moderating page comments. We'd like to share our experiences with this approach, and provide some background on its motivation and applicability.
