At the beginning of this year I was working on adding an Enterprise Java Bean authentication framework to Lenya, org.apache.lenya.ac.ejb.
The goal of this was to allow more advanced user management for allowing visitors to become 'members' of a website via filling in a registration form. The members would then be allowed access to additional content on the site. The only function which would fall inside the responsibility of lenya would be the authentication and access control. A simple cform would be used for registration, and the EJBs would store the additional user info. This work was done on a January CVS version of Lenya, and an alpha release of JBoss Enterprise Java Beans 3. The code no longer compiles for either software component. (It was working great in January though ;) My question is... how would such a project fit into lenya's current development? (Version 1.4). What do the authors of Lenya see as the significant challenges to such a project? My goal is to evolve Lenya into something suitable for an Ecommerce website (product catalog, online ordering etc etc), which stores customer information and has the ability to use marketing (emails etc) with customers. Ideally I'd like to most of this project external to lenya's core source, just have a few basic points to link into lenya (such as lenya.ac, and maybe cms.publication). Leave the rest of the Product/Customer data inside a database and manipulate it through EJB.
