Was there any progress on the effort to integrate KonaKart?
Thanks,

Subject: Integration of a shopping cart

Hello,
We've been asked to integrate our Java Shopping Cart (
http://www.konakart.com ) with Magnolia. We've never used Magnolia
before
and so were wondering whether someone could give us a few tips before
starting.
All KonaKart functionality is available through Java APIs or SOAP web
service APIs. The options that we have thought about are:
-Placing KonaKart into the same webapp as Magnolia. This solution would
perform well, but we envisage problems with conflicting Jars and it
certainly isn't the cleanest solution to maintain.
-Placing KonaKart into another webapp and communicating via SOAP
calls. This
would give us the most flexibility since KonaKart could be installed
anywhere and just be seen as a service by Magnolia.
The web service approach is definitely our preferred integration
method. If
we went down that route, is there any functionality within Magnolia to
facilitate the communication via SOAP or does anyone have any
examples that
they could share?
Since KonaKart is free (and partly open source) and developed in
Java, we
feel that it could be a good match for anyone wanting to integrate
shopping
cart software within their Magnolia based application. Therefore we'd
like
to leave some examples / guidelines etc. for the community and would
welcome
the help of anyone requiring this functionality who is already
proficient
with Magnolia.
Thanks,
Paolo Sidoli
