• Where is UserForm.java? Answer: The UserForm.java file is generated by XDoclet using Ant. If you run "ant compile" it gets generated into build/web/gen/org/appfuse/webapp/form.

• HowTo use NTLM authentication with appfuse? Using the jCIFS, one can use the jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter to use the NTLM authentication in Tomcat. Matt can you give some pointers if this can be integrated with AppFuse?

Here is how I used Andy Armstrong's JAAS Login Modules to get Tomcat to talk to an NT Domain. It's been over a year since I tried it - but it worked quite well at the time. I have no experience with jCIFS - but if you get it working - please let me know. I'd be happy to help you write a howto on this wiki for it. ~ Matt

• What is AppFuse? AppFuse is a project that helps you begin developing new web applications. It virtually eliminates the hard part of starting a new project - which is often setup and configuration. It has Ant targets for building, testing and deploying. Tools like JUnit, XDoclet, Hibernate and Spring can be difficult to integrate. If you use AppFuse, it's already done for you. It also provides built-in features like Container Managed Authentication, Password Hint, Remember Me, User Registration and User Management.

[mysqld]
default-table-type=innodb
