Build and Deploy Ofbiz on Production

[guptahim]

Hi,
I have to deploy and build Ofbiz on linux server. I have following questions-
1. Is there any production set up guide?
2. Should we use embedded app server(Jetty) or do we need to set up on tomcat.
3. Do we have any build and deploy inbuilt in Ofbiz.
4. The Production set up guide at https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBTECH/apache-ofbiz-technical-production-setup-guide.html does not give information as how to create war of ofbiz.

[Deepak Agarwal-2]

There is a separate well return guide to deploy ofbiz in tomcat (if not
using embedded tomcat) with or without Apache (httpd).

deployment to external tomcat is not supported, and not working properly.

It depends on versions https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Run+OFBiz+under+outside+Application+Servers
Seems that lastly some issues were crossed.

Jacques,
I tried it in different versions of tomcat and ofbiz revisions. I
tested it on ofbiz 10.04 and 11.04 with tomcat 6 and 7.
It failed in all cases. I am not sure if there's a way to modify ofbiz
to be depoyed just like moqui, where we drop a war file
in tomcat, and make it point to the location of the additional components.

No, it's not, and has never been, quite as easy as in Moqui, indeed.

Those who succeeded in time left the ways they did, that's all. Maybe it's harder now.
For myself, I only tried with WASCE/Geronimo in 2008...

So how to use ofbiz in a real production environment with a dedicated application server?

Even if ofbiz is a great product, the fact that it can't work in a production environment (I mean with an easy deployable and stable configuration), doesn't that negatively impact the ofbiz product?

Why ofbiz born with everything embedded? It seems not easy to make it works in an external application server now
