I see a need to do this myself. Wieger, we are doing something like you suggested with one hitch....
Basically, we have a core application which is like a jumpstart application. It contains all of the security DB tables etc.We have 3 dependent apps on the core and many future ones in design that will need to use all of this functionality. So far jarring up the CORE and sending to other apps is fine. Except when I need a FK to one of the core tables from the dependentapp-schema.xml. Then we have to duplicate this core table entry in the dependentapp-schema.xml. This causes two identical classes(one in jar and one in dependent app) to be produced which creates a mess. Using the external-schema element creates even a bigger mess b/c it recreates all of the core om classes in the dependent app. We want to eliminate the core classes from being edited in the dependent app code base. Only persons who understand how this could affect all apps should be diving in here. Any more ideas? Thanks!
