OfBiz forum is not reliable to me. I think of putting Jforum into OfBiz. Has
anyone done this? Any step by step guidance for this? Would it be easier to put OfBiz running on external Tomcat where I can easily deploy Jforum there too? I will need step by step guidance for this too. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com |

Hi Eric,
I guess you're talking about the ecommerce application and its forum functionalities?

I am one of the past contributors to JForum.
With some changes, you should be able to deploy it as an OFBiz components. If you understand how OFBiz authentication works between components, you should consider replacing the OFBiz authentication with CAS SSO. This will save you a lot of problems later when you convert other projects into OFBiz components.

Thank you James. I'll take it into consideration.

Hi James,
Can you tell me more about this? About CAS SSO and steps taken?

Hi eric,
OFBiz consists of several web applications, and uses some custom way to auto-login the users when they navigate from one web application into another. You can look into the externalLoginKey parameter used by OFBiz. In order to allow other web application like JForum to fit in nicely with minimum code changes, you will need to consider a proper single-sign-on solution like CAS SSO http://www.jasig.org/cas. Start by downloading the CAS Server code into OFBiz's special folder, and add the ofbiz-component.xml file. There will also be changes to the web.xml files in other web applications. No step by step approach. Need to read documentation and fix whatever errors that arise : )

Hi James,
I still having difficulties how to deploy JForum as Ofbiz component. Can you guide me? What I have done for this moment is I have installed JForum but on separate Tomcat server not as Ofbiz component. Thanks |

Hi Eric,
Can you specify the difficulty you are facing? Adding libraries to OFBiz components is rather trivial.

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. Extracted on TomCat webapp folder. But I wonder how to deploy this JForum inside Ofbiz as Ofbiz component. Thanks.

So, rather than doing this, why not focus on why the ecommerce forum is
unreliable.

Hi yes. Ofbiz forum is incomplete to me. There is no views and reply count. Avatars and emotions are also not there. Multi sub forum. Multi threaded view is also not available. And so on.
So I think it is easier to opt out to 3rd party forum such as JForum into Ofbiz component.

You could create a Jira issue, JForum is BSD licensed, so we would maybe include it as an OFBiz specialpurpose component... If its quality is good
enough...

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.

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?

Hi Eric,
Assuming you want your users' data to reside on OFBiz, I think one of the below options might be suitable: - Authenticate everything through LDAP (I think simpler, cleaner, easier) - implement in JForum the interface net.jforum.sso.LoginAuthenticator either by creating a new class or actually modifying net.jforum.sso.DefaultLoginAuthenticator and make that class call a web service to OFBiz to authenticate against it. The details are for you to figure out, I'm just trying to help with the overall picture. Mind you though if you implement it this way I think you still need to replicate the users data in both systems. Given what you are trying to do is customization, there is no way of accomplishing this without digging into code in both applications. I gather from your questions below you are still somewhat new to OFBiz and this might pose a challenge. You might want to get much more familiar with the framework before going into advanced topics including things like integration with other systems.

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?
