Deploy on external Tomcat

[郑色树]

I try to deploy OFBiz on external tomcat. I followed the appserver module README but Tomcat never read the information about the classpath write on catalina.properties. When it try to load the OFBiz webapp it throw the exception for all the webapp:

 

2009-4-27 23:46:28 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
严重: Error configuring application listener of class org.ofbiz.webapp.control.ControlEventListener

I'm afraid it's very difficult to deploy OFBiz on external Tomcat only.
The reason behind is similar to Portal, Portal is servlet container +
JSR-168(JSR-286), OFBiz is servlet container + Entity Engine Extension.

Perhaps it's time to submit an OFBiz JSR.

[David E Jones-3]

It's not really THAT hard... usually just a matter of getting the  
classpath right, and for Tomcat that means copying ALL classpath files  
to be in the Tomcat runtime directories.

One part of what you said Shi I'm not clear about: "OFBiz is servlet  
container." Actually, OFBiz is not a servlet container and is instead  
made to use a servlet container according to the standard Servlet API.  
By default that servlet container is Tomcat, though in an embedded  
mode. The reason that we use Tomcat in an embedded mode is that the  
deployment model that Tomcat supports is extremely cumbersome.

The basic and unfortunate truth is that if you choose an app server  
you choose the deployment tools and model of that app server... and  
deploying large applications in some app servers is a NIGHTMARE! So,  
consider the effort required for deployment when deciding on an app  
server and deployment strategy... including for development, testing,  
and production.
