Yes, to connect from (Tapestry) Web App to the JCR Repository was also my
first idea. 

The basic question about this aproach would be: How the editor in Magnolia
sees the Layout of the Site? 

Basically, Magnolia uses JSP's as Templates which is own Taglib. So, if i
edit content in Magnolia i need some sort of JSP Template which is the same
as in Tapestry, because the Editor needs to see what the site is look like
in the preview. 

I guess i could get everything that is in the JCR Repository what the Author
creates (access the properties of the nodes in the JCR Repository) but how
the Editor of the site sees the actual site and could edit it in Magnolia
when we didn't have a JSP Template?
  
I'm new to Tapestry so please correct my if i'm wrong. 

Thank's in advance.
