Best practice for integration in a SaaS related app

Hi,

we are developing a web-based App-Studio for mobile platforms. The server side is done with Java and the client app is based on Dojo/Dijit and is full Ajax driven.

We've got quite some so called "pro" features we'd like to sell within the app studio directly. The question is now how to share store related information of products and customers between the app-studio and the store.

I saw that your server module offers a web-api. Does it will be enough ? I need to validate the user's purchases perferably on the server if possible.

I also thought I integrate the site-app (site-war) directly but I am not sure thats the right way.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Is your server side done in Spring/JPA/Hibernate. If so, the best option may be to integrate Broadleaf directly in that tier. If not, you may want to communicate with Broadleaf via RESTful services. RESTful service support is on our product roadmap - targeted for our 1.6 release.
