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.

Mike

Subject: Re: singleton vs multiple applications


I'm mailing this a little funny so I'm not sure if this will be included in
the proper thread but this is pertaining to the thread started by Ronan-Yann
Lorin titled singleton vs multiple applications.

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!
