Embedding a forum into an application

[MartinOShea]

Hello

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the correct forum or not but I have been given the task of incorporating a BBS into an application and am trying to determine if Nabble is the correct one to use.

Basically, the application uses Apache Tomcat to host a load of Java servlets and JSPs written using NetBeans with a MySQL database. The application is broken down into communities and a user of the system can be a member of multiple communities.

I have two major questions are as follows:

Can Nabble access be restricted to one community at a time if Nabble is called from a web page? I need to have each community's BBS completely separate from all others.
If access is directly from a web page, is it necessary for the user to log into Nabble? The user will already have been logged in to the application anyway.

So any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Martin O'Shea.

With software, anything is possible. Nabble can what do what you need. There might be some work in shared log-in, but that's already on the development list, it's just that it's a low priority. The question is really is it worth doing? Are you still in the development stage of your application? Who are you competitors? How successful will it be?

Thanks for the reply.

The application is still in alpha development stage. However, I like the way the Nabble embedded forums integrate right into the web pages shown in the examples. If Nabble can't work though, the best alternatives at the moment are the more conventional BBSs like PHPBB.
