Scott,
I think what you are looking for is what the java portlet API (JSR
168) tries to address. Rather than trying to make one monolithic
application, the portlet API lets you integrate many disparate apps.
Applications that are portlet API compatible will run smoothly and
seamlessly alongside other portlet apps as if they are all one app.
For some examples, take a look on google for liferay portlet
container and integration to apps such as alfresco document
management. Also, follow this link for the details of pentaho
portal integration - http://jira.pentaho.org:8080/confluence/display/
PentahoDoc/06.+Portal+Demo
I don't think ofbiz will run from a portlet container at the moment,
but I for one would love to see portlet compatibility added to ofbiz!
For a nice open source portlet container, check out liferay.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi all,
I’m at the beginning stages of a long process to make ofbiz the
core behind
my business. I see that there is a long way for me to go before my
people or
I start using it in a meaningful way because of all the changes I
will want.
That said, I can clearly see what the future will be for my
business and
ofbiz.
One of the things that pushes me is the thought that my employees
and I will
be able to use a single integrated application from front end
website to the
double entry accounting. What I really want to know is how far people
(especially the developers) see ofbiz going? For example, would it be
possible to integrate something like Zimbra email (http://
www.zimbra.com)
right into the core of ofbiz? I’m not sure about the license
issues, etc but
I would love to see it.
Am I too naïve to think that my entire business could be run from
one core
application?
Thanks in advance.
