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?

Thanks
