Hi Eric, I took another look into JForum as it interested me for our project. I realized, however, that this is as you said not a library but a full application stack. It has security, DAO, mail, file management, user interface, internationalization and a lot more.
Therefore, I think it should not be integrated with OFBiz given the huge overlap in functionality. It is like saying let's integrate OFBiz with Drupal or Joomla. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If you are not going to use OFBiz entities, OFBiz interface, OFBiz service engine and indeed any of the core functions of OFBiz then why integrate in the first place! I would suggest a lighter approach of having two separate systems fired up independent of each other and if needed communicate between the two systems through web services.

If its quality is good enough... Ad said Mike we could also look at the ecommerce forum, would be another issue then (with more than it does not work) Jacques Le 04/07/2014 17:29, Eric Halim a écrit : > Hi, > > JForum does not come as library but a whole folder contains its own file > structure. > > So I really don't know where to extract these JForum files in Ofbiz. > > As per now I run JForum on separate TomCat instance.
