Hi all,
I'd like to integrate Prowler (http://www.infozone-group.org/projects_main.html)
with Turbine/Jetspeed. Prowler is an XML-based transaction-safe content
managment framework. At the moment we use only Cocoon for the web-frontend.
But we'd like to have Turbine/Jetspeed to build a personalized web-protal.
The overall goal of Infozone is to create an EIP based on open source
technolgies. The raw picture might be as follows:
+---------+ +----------+ +---------+
| Cocoon | | Jetspeed | | Turbine |
| | +----------+ | |
| +-----+ +-----+ |
| | | |
+---------------+ +---------------+
+----------------------------------+
| Prowler |
+----------------------------------+
+----------------------------------+
| data source (databases, app |
| servers, mail boxes, etc.) |
+----------------------------------+
One important point is the user management (UM). The UM of Prowler is pluggable
but the interface is very simple (only users and groups). I'd like to have only
one user manager for all parties - Jetspeed, Turbine and Prowler. As a common
interface I thought of JAAS (published by Sun), also because of the tight
integration with the Java security mechanims. How much differs the UM of
Turbine from this specification ?
Also I saw that Turbine's UM heavly depends on SQL but I'd like to use ozone
(http://www.ozone-db.org) - an OODBMS - to store the UM informations. As far as
I could see from the API docs this is not possible yet - or am I wrong?
Is there any way to separate the UM interface of Turbine clearly from the
underlying database ?
I have to admit that I'm not yet very familar with Turbine. What I've written
here is based on my first impressions that I've got while reading the docs.
I would be grateful for any hints.
Best Regards,
Gerd
