Question about OBE's role in sourceid-java-2.0

[yes]

I am continuing my work on port sourceid-java-2.0 demo application to
tomcat, for I believe, if succeeded, many servers can run sourceid's
idff1.2 (instead of ONLY jboss).

On compiling CastlePeak/Infranstructure package, there is only one place
that needs jboss( and it is easy short circuited). While running, the
OBE(Open Bussiness Engine) package requires j2ee support. Meanwhile, I
found that org.sourceid.workflow package in Infrastructure also depends
on OBE

Here is my question:
1. What is the role of OBE in sourceid-java-2.0? In other words, can I
tear obe off easily so that it can run in tomcat (for example, although
compiled with OBE, I could never use those functionalities depend on OBE)
2. There must be some changes in Demo. I have two choices: modify the
existing demo application, or re-write a new simple one. Which choice is
easier?

Thanks in advance.

OBE forms the heart of the SourceID system -- if you "remove" it,
nothing will work at all. As far as I know, however, we don't use any
of the J2EE stuff in OBE. With some work, you should be able to
remove/disable just the J2EE stuff from OBE and still have everything
work.

That depends on what changes you need to make. But you do have the
source code, so maybe you can save yourself some effort by adjusting
the existing app.
