Has anyone tried to concurrently use many instances of the same

We are evaluating this possibility. We have several identical
databases which we'd hope to update using WebServices through a single
WO app. All EOs have the same business logic. This app would ideally
choose the right data source depending on the login info. As far as I
can tell this is only possible if the none of the EO share the same
entity name.
The restriction is that the names of all entities loaded into an
EOModelGroup must be unique. All eomodels in an app and in any
frameworks linked to the app are loaded into a single EOModelGroup. So
you'd need to rename the entities in each identical eomodel so that all
entity names are unique. I'm not certain, but I don't believe there'd
be any problem with identical entities with different names sharing the
same EO class.
Maybe you could devise an entity name suffix that's tied to the
particular database being accessed. Then any entity name reference in
your code could be a String that would be dynamically assigned the
appropriate entity name based on the database being accessed.
This is all off the top of my head, so I've undoubtedly overlooked
some critical detail that will blow this whole thing out of the water
:-)
