Thanks Taber. I got your point. I don't have problem running these 2 separately. Actually my issue is how to integrate their login.
Once users register on Ofbiz, users are automatically become JForum users and can post a thread on JForum. And also once login into Ofbiz, I don't want users to login again for JForum. So I was thinking including JForum into Ofbiz component and use external login key feature to integrate the login. Now if these 2 are separate from each other. I hope someone can help me how to integrate the login issue. Is this called SSO? Or should I explore something on CAS and LDAP? Or maybe little trick like iFrame?
