Hello Remco,

Nice idea, but is PHP (mixed with java, xml, ..) on a 3-tier architecture not 
the same thing than putting a new 300HP engine in an old Volkswagen Beetle?
There are better things to deal with a 3-tier architecture.
For exaple using a application server like Jboss and you get rid of much 
security issuees by having all those connectors and process encapsulation 
allready there.
I had worked a little with openCRX (http://www.opencrx.org/) wich has to my 
mind the best architecture (MDA) but must become user-friendly which 
vtigercrm is. In my opinion vtigercrm has to do a stronger encapsulating of 
the modules and building a crm-core as an interface for the Modules. But I am 
not shure if this is actually possible with php. At the end you have another 
application server.

Best regards,

Dirk
