Sharing CAF Entity/Application Service to Other CAF Project ?

Question

Hello,
Currently we don't have NWDI in place and only doing local development;
ie, using local DC's. Now we'd like to contain all CAF Entity Services
and related Application Services in one CAF Project (CAF_BASE) and
create other CAF Project (CAF_APP) to refer to these exposed
Entity/App Services.
I tried to add all entities of types [Common Model] and [Java Package Tree]
to one Public Part  (PP01) in DC of Project CAF_BASE. In DC of Project
CAF_APP, I included PP01 as a used DC.
Still those Entity/App Services in CAF_BASE are not shown in CAF_APP.
Is this by design or I did it the wrong way ?

Hi Francesco,
From SAP Help (see URL below),
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/32/07c93f26903a1ce10000000a114084/content.htm
A statement is specified :
>>> Start-of-SAP-Help
Restrictions for Relations
The following restrictions apply for relations between entity services:
     Relations between entity services can only be unidirectional. A bidirectional relation has to be modeled as two unidirectional relations.
     Entity services can only refer to (relations and inheritance):
      Other entity services of the same project
      Core entity services
     Entity services can only reference other entity services.
<<< End-of-SAP-Help
It says that a entity service can only refer to other entity services in the
same project so there is no way for us to share entity services between
projects.
