Greetings,

I'm looking to build a portal Jetspeed, and of course ran into Turbine as I started 
getting my head around the pieces parts.  Wow, yummy!  Nice work!

Can I ask some questions of the experts that are on this list?  If any of these are 
covered elsewhere, a simple "RTFM" as a response would be very helpful so I know to do 
more digging.  But I think I am at a place where things mostly fit and I want to get 
experiences from those that have done this or something similar before.  For the 
purposes here, please forget that I want to use Jetspeed, at this point I'm simply 
evaluating Turbine on JBoss 3.0.

1) Most of my application model is going to be implemented as EJBs under JBoss 3.0. 
Once I have the stub for the EJB, I should be able to just plug this in as my bean to 
Velocity, right?

2) I haven't had a chance yet to closely examine the installation docs, but have 
looked a bit at the JavaDocs for SecurityService.  If I understand this correctly, 
it's possible to deploy Turbine using the LDAPSecurityService and have a system that 
reads/writes changes to something like OpenLDAP.  If that is true, I will use the LDAP 
analog in JBoss for my EJB security, thereby normalizing the security storage, even at 
some possible expenditure to normalize the schemas between the code bases.  Sound 
reasonable?

3) With my model completely implemented as EJB (and using XDoclet generated CMP), my 
model should be completely detached from any dependency on JDBC -- all database access 
will be through the EJB container.  The SecurityService will be through LDAP.  Are 
there other significant dependencies on the database that I need to be aware of?  I've 
looked through all the other service descriptions on the 2.x docs and couldn't find 
anything.

4) Am I significantly missing the boat on anything?

Thanks a bunch for any input!!!

Brian
