for the following, the Company must own both websites.
look at the ecommerce ad clone ecommerce.
those are equivalent of you
cookies, and dvd
they use the same instance so thier login will tell them what they can see.
Catalogs, can be assigned to a productstore, the productstore is
connncted to the website.
ecommerce and clone ecommerces web.xml websites assiments then tell
ofbiz which productstore therefore what catalog can be used.
you can assign parties to a productstore or a catalog
have not used the affiliates.

Thanks again for your time.
If I am correctly understanding from Ray's comment, it is possible to setup 2 catalogs for say
Cookies.com
dvds.com
and sell cookies through one site dvds through the another one. Where
cookies.com customers can may buy dvds from dvds.com without registering again
with dvds.com.
It is possible for a single admin to be able to see and manage the catalog,
sales, customer information for both the cookies.com and dvds.com from one
admin account.
If I am correctly understanding Jacques's and Ray's comment, it is NOT possible
to have 2 seperate admin accounts (authorization) one for each cookies.com and
dvds.com with 1 instance of OFBiz.
1. Am I right in my understanding Ray'sand Jacques's comment ?
My other questions:
2. If there are door-to-door (affiliates) sales people for cookies.com,
dvds.com, Is it possible to manage thier accounts online like seeing their
sales, payment etc without seeing other affiliate's info ?
Thank you

I agree with Ray and BJ,
On point 3, I guess the answer is no. You will have to set separate instances
as Ray as well explained.

From: "Ray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In terms of mall type stores I understand that generally to mean
unrelated stores (ecommerce sites) running from one instance of OFBiz.
So customers from mall A.com won't see products from mall B.com and
importantly backend access will keep the orders and everything else
separate as well. So to be clear OFBiz is not suited OOTB to host
multiple separate malls from one instance. But it is relatively easy to
host another domain/site from one instance of OFBiz that may target a
slightly different market leveraging the same or similar products under
a different brand, the reasoning's for this will be left to the
marketing discussions but it's possible OOTB with OFBiz.
So what is the association between AppOne.com and AppTwo.com? Are they
separate companies? Just different branding same company? Do you want
one backend database for both the domains? Do you allow someone
registering on AppOne.com to access AppTwo.com?
1: Different catalogs can be used to publish different products with
their own look and feel for the domains. Depends how much you want to
customise as to whether you need 0, 1 or 2 hot deploy applications.
2: I think BJ was pointing you to ajp for this, which is a perfectly
good suggestion. If you're not fronting with Apache or anything else
I'm
sure you can still do it with Tomcat but you'll have to dig a little
deeper in to the OFBiz/Tomcat container to check that.
3: Not sure who "their" refers to?

Hi,
I am planning to write 2 web site applications (Domain names) selling
2 different services.
I would like them to be hosted and deployed through one OFBiz
instance/hot-deploy directory.
Eg:
www.AppOne.com
www.AppTwo.com
My question is:
1. Is this setup is possible ?
2. Is it possible for 2 host names to have 2 different IPs ?
3. Is it possible to manage their catalog/security in one instance of
OFBiz?
4. I did see the multiple stores are supported by OFBiz but not the
mall type stores. Could some one explain what is the
difference between multiple stores and a mall type stores?
Thank you
Ram
