Deploy Non Ofbiz components into Ofbiz: Is it a good practice?

[ian tabangay]

Will do and Ill include how to deploy the war file into ofbiz. But I would
like to get the group's comment first on deploying non-ofbiz webapps into
ofbiz. What I wanted to do was to remove the need to have another instance
of tomcat within the server to accommodate non-ofbiz webapps. Is this
generally acceptable? An alternative would be to have the other tomcat
deployed into another server to remove the conflict of having more than one
tomcat in a server. I havent tried this in a real deployment and dont know
the repercussion of it in the long run. Any comment would be most helpful.

I don't know if the implementation on this is complete, but I believe  
you can actually drop a war file into the hot-deploy directory and  
OFBiz will pick it up and mount the webapp and such. I know this was  
discussed a few weeks ago, but I don't know if the implementation was  
finished.

What I did was I extracted the war file myself and wrote an
ofbiz-component.xml file for the webapp. Its working as it should.
