> I want to share my work with you implementing the use of one OFBiz instance
> with multiple databases, by defining multiple delegators, in the
> entityengine.xml, one for each databases. this is useful when we implementing
> ofbiz for semi-independent subsidiaries of one company having users allowed
> to use two or more databases.
> This involve mainly the user authentication procedure by asking for a company
> name in the login form. This company name represents a delegator name that
> describe a specific subsidiary database. After a successful user login
> operation, the passed company name is used to retrieve the corresponding
> delegator. The method CoreEvents.chageDelegator is modified to change the
> delegator of related Dispatcher and JobManager.
> Of course I needed to store the delegator name in the GenericValue UserLogin
> to navigate among different ofbiz applications keeping the same original
> database.
> I also provided a kind of mechanism to activate or deactivates the use of
> multi-delegator by adding a "multi.delegator" property in the
> security.properties configuration file that when set true, cause the ofbiz to
> display he company field in the login form and do the necessary work to
> switch from default database to the provided one.
> I will be open to discuss any suggestion for improving this issue.
> Following is a patch for current ofbiz trunk version:
