A related question: are there instructions on how to install non ofbiz
apps inside the embedded container? Seems that this might be a path to
success for the GWT integration.

* Any tips about accessing OFBiz from GWT apps? I've read the threads
previously posted here, but they were pretty light on practical
advice. I am assuming I'll need to do the following:
-- build ofbiz app with service defs but no ui, service impls
consisting of pass-thru calls to the existing ofbiz services (party,
order, catalog), and build a SOAP interface with Java2WSDL or others
-- in the GWT servlet side use SOAP to get at ofbiz objects/methods
-- in the GWT client side use GWT's methods to get at the servlet
* Can I expose the services as xmlrpc to skip the middle step above?
thanks,

I think OfBiz can be configured to authenticate against an LDAP
directory. That might be a better option. Can someone confirm OfBiz
LDAP integration?

authentication store for a webapp?
you will probably have to look at using SOAP to connect. but if you
going to use ofbiz for authentication there is a lot of traffic for
each request made. At least that is my understanding.
I think if is a lot of overhead for just authenticating. But other
may give you a different perspective.

Thanks, but maybe my question wasn't clear - or maybe I'm just
confused - I have an external webapp, currently using jaas/j2ee -
connected to ldap - I'd like to switch that to using the account
store in ofbiz, but the app will still be external to ofbz - ie the
framework won't be available - or am I missing something somewhere
else?

you can use the framework. I have seen many that seem to have
figured it out.

Has anyone got an example of using the accounts created/stored in
ofbiz for authentication in another webapp (outside of the ofbiz
tomcat)?
