Context : Need to revamp an application in AEM 5.6.1. Within this application, we have to integrate a stand alone java application. So is it good to call the homepage of standalone app within AEM via Iframes? Am considering a different appraoch of using the RESTFUL API of the standlaone application as well. Which is the best option? to use Iframes for integration or create webpages from JSON response? or is there a better option

    Its always better and recommended to go RESTFUL way via Ajax rather than using iframes.

      Agreed - do not use IFrame, Instead - you can write sling servlets and invoke them using Rest - ie an AJAX call. In AEM - components would communite with Servlets and data would be displayed in a component. An AEM page can contain x number of components. So 1 page can contain many components - all of which can invoke servlets.
