several JFroums on same server

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

first of all im sorry for my newbie question!
I found JForum yesterday and it is exactly what i have been looking for. I am develloping a web application all written in java an using much open source code. So i was looking for a forum software written in java and running on a tomcat.
I did the setup today an i think i made it happen, everything seems to work properly!
But now my question:
In my application people can register for a certain service which contains an own homepage an an own forum.
There the problem appears (because im too stupid maybe ... ops: ) as i want to provide a forum to each user. Not only a new forum in an existing JForum context, but their own forum that they can manage themeselve.
It is ok to me to create an extra mysql db for each user froum, but i dont want to install an new context each time ...
Can anyone help me !?

my goal is: http://<domain>/JForum/<userid>;

Maybe this topic has already been discussed, but i couldnt find it with the search tool

thx for advice!
greetings from Austria!

Well, JForum does not support it for now. You'll have to digg into the source code for such thing.

or any other open source java forum that provides such a feature?

I have a web application that works more or less like that, it deals with repositories of links instead of forums, and the "basic" idea would be to add a "forum instance" table and then make the rest of the tables depend on that one, so all the queries, inserts, updates... would need to take into account which "forum instance" we are dealing with.

Not really complicated but a lot of tweaking, usually.

hm,

i understand what u mean.
But i think i wouldnt succeed to make such modifications in the jforum source. Probably i would create more bugs than anything else ...
Hopefully such a feature is integrated in future releases of jforum. That would even motivate me to donate 8)
