This topic is very much linked to the previous thread that you started earleri "Tomcat SSO" so they might as well be one topic. I think I answered most stuff in that thread.
However, I would add that in my opinion, maybe it would be simpler if we avoid implementing it in this fashion (ofbiz webapp + standard webapp) but instead treat all of OFBiz as a single webapp by refactoring the catalina container. Having two ways of doing the same thing is perhaps an added complexity and more cognitive load on people for no added value that I can think of. Unifying, on the other hand, would be a huge added value IMO.
