Matthew, Run them as different web apps. If they have to share services or functions, like say the product catalog, you can either communicate between webapps or just make sure that the objects and peers are in different jar files so you can included the jars where needed.
For the security, if you use Flux (or Fulcrum) you can have each webapp point to the same underlying data source via the turbine resources properties file. By the way, I hope to have Fulcrum updated to use LDAP as a data source by the end of the first quarter. Then, the idea would be the same, you would still have the TR.props reference the appropriate service/data source and your webserver point to the appropriate LDAP server if you want to gain the ACL on the front end. Hope that helps.

I was wondering what the final solution was because I am in a similar situation. I am creating one large app that will connect a company with it's suppliers, and also make the information available on the internet (kind of a intranet/extranet/internet solution). It contains quite a few components that seem as though they might be organized better as separate applications namely a global/personal address book, a calendar, a product catalog and so on. I'm not quite sure how these application would interact if they were separate. My biggest concern is the user login/validation bacause even if they could operate separately, they would need the same users and groups. I had planned on having one main database as the separation of information is not critical, it will all be hosted ansd operated together. I hope my questions are clear. Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated!
