There are at least two ways to do this that I am aware of.

1) The Roller Admin API - a simple web service for creating users and blogs
2) The Roller Java API - just call the Roller Java classes directly

There are README files and examples of how to use these options from
the Groovy language at the link below.

Here the Roller Java API createuser.gy example:

Probably i didin't explain my problem clearly....
I am having my project and roller as separate applications in webapps of
tomcat. Now whenever a user registers for my site i need to insert the same
user credentials into roller database(rolleruser table). Is there any way of
doing this??? I am trying to do it by creating a new method in Register.java
of org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.struts2.core package. I am planning to
call that method by using URL,URLConnection of java.net package in the
following way
String data = URLEncoder.encode("username", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("somex", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("password", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("somex", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("fullName", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("somex", "UTF-8");
		data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("email", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("somex@somey.com", "UTF-8");
		data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("locale", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("English(United States)", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("timeZone", "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode("America/Jamaica", "UTF-8");
        // Send data
        URL url=new
URL("http://localhost:8080/roller/roller-ui/register!custom.rol");
		URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
	    conn.setDoOutput(true);
        OutputStreamWriter wr = new
OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
		wr.write(data);
        wr.flush();
In that method i will be getting the parameters from the url using
request.getParameter() ,creating a User object and setting the required
fields with the obtained values from url then call the addUser() of
UserManager passing the User object as parameter. Is this the right way to
do??? or is there any easy way of doing this. Please advise me...
Thanks
