Is springframework a problem?
I could switch out hibernate to something else, since most of the fun is in
lucene.
Do you understand what authsum could bring to ofbiz? It could tell you what
customers you can place an order on behalf of in a split second.

Phillip,
Just about licence : only Hibernate is really a problem since it's LGPL
licenced
BTW you may consider using Entity Engine in place of
Hibernate/Spring/Tapestry because I can't see how all that would fit in
OFBiz
:o)
It's up to you...

Subject: Authorization and SSO server for ofbiz offer
Hi,
My name is Phillip Rhodes, and I have been a java developer since '96,
and have integrated apps with Oracle 11i ERP systems, Tibco, Vertex, sso
and all kinds of interesting projects...
I have a project called "authsum" , think of it as "sum of
authorizations"
http://www.authsum.org/
Good summary architecture diagram:
http://www.authsum.org/overview/index.html
In summary, it's a SSO/Identity server. It communicates with client
applications via a JDBC or Web services api to figure out what
authorizations a user has. The authorizations are stored in a lucene
index, so it's fast (given how enterprises can have complicated
group/role structures).
Anyway, just wanted to know if it would be possible to bolt this into
ofbiz. I would be willing to give the authsum code the same license
(apache). Unfortunately, it uses hibernate/spring/tapestry (open source
products) .
It would also "complicate things" because it consists of 4 different
webapps that can be run in a distributed environment. But it also has a
SSO so that it could provide SSO across ofbiz/registration/user
admin/CMS/etc...
Just putting a feeler out.
Phillip
