Spring Forum integration

My application uses Spring Security and Spring MVC and is hosted on Glassfish 3.1.2.

I'm looking for a forum software (phpBB like) that I can integrate easily in my app.

Does anyone know some ?

I found JForum but it's a web app which needs to be installed... Maybe should I install it and copy the directory in my application?

Solution

  • I tried jForum, and even if it seems that the project is not continuing, it fits to my application.

    To get it working with Spring, I had to use SSO (Single sign-on) by modifying jForum config.

    In the file SystemGlobals.properties, I had to change property authentication.type = default to authentication.type = sso.

    jForum will use the remote user of the request context.
