Because (B-tree) indexes on sequentiel IDs are more efficient.

I digged some docs, I think I'll do LDAP+web for user self-servicing+SAML with Shibboleth+maybe OpenID. That will complicate the automated customer setup, but it'll cover many use cases.

Thanks for the help!

I looked at SAML, it's a possible addition to the service. It may be touchy to integrate (opensaml-java), but definitely doable.

Classic use case: org want facilitate+centralize users management on owncloud+apache webdav+other oss app on external server (internet). I only saw AD used in intranets, if orgs would expose it on external servers (with/without VPN), then I'd better find an another idea.

Orgs do really expose their Active Directory server on the internet, to integrate with external servers ?

If you need reliable, high-throughput REST-style APIs in Java, I'm your guy. After 7+ years of experience in server-side Java (JEE 5&6, Spring, Wicket...), I'm specializing in lightweight stacks. I love Dropwizard, JEE6, PostgreSQL, Lucene... Please email me at username at gmail.com for more infos.

I now work from home, in the south of France, enjoying a fullfilling life with my SO and my 3 weeks old daughter : I won't relocate .

My favorite coding atmosphere is like 70% N2, 20% O2 and 1% Ar.

Big desk, two large monitors, Aeron chair (I miss it :/), Logitech illuminated keyboard, G500 mouse, 21°C temp, 11 PM, nobody, no noise, just the keyboard clicks rythming the night.

It also depends of who's the target audience. I did two Show HN for a medical literature search engine and got a total of two comments. On a medical-related reddit, I got much much more comments, thanks, suggestions, etc etc.

Lot's of Java dev greatly misunderstand ORMs and the underlying SQL stuff. You can differentiate on that.

Need: Spring, EJB, JPA (so Hibernate), JSP

Nice: SQL mastering, good ORM trade-offs and inner-working understanding, good general database understanding and usage (let PostgreSQL be your friend)

But you'd also better master few pieces of software like Hadoop, Solr, Talend, Cassandra... to differentiate/specialize (try and pick what you love doing, contribute to open-source with these technologies)

I have no plans to expand to all scientific literature, unless I find a good source of structured data to work on. If there is a Pubmed equivalent for other scientific fields, please drop me a link :)
