Tomcat 6 & ofbiz

[Ján Valkovič]

Hi,
I want to build Claros inTouch (http://www.trlinux.com/web/showProduct.do?id=1) into ofbiz, but inTouch run on tomcat 6.0.x and ofbiz on 5.5.x.
I'v tried to replace embeded tomcat with 6.0.14 (and some part of geronimo, because tomcat6 supports jsp 2.1 and servlet 2.5 and tomcat55 only jsp 2.0 and servlet 2.4), but there was errors in method createCluster(CatalinaContainer.java) because they refactored clustering in tomcat 6 branch. Other ofbiz parts(framework and apps) seems to be working correctly(no error messages).

How can i config ofbiz to run on tomcat6 with clustering(needed in future)? And have anybody some experiences with ofbiz+tomcat6?

Thanks
ya

PS: sorry for my english ;-)

Just as with any library, or set of libraries, that OFBiz uses the  
code that uses them will need to be updated if there are non-backward  
compatible changes in the library.

This happens all the time. If you'd like to make the changes yourself  
feel free to create a patch with them and submit them in a new Jira  
issue for review and commit.

The project will eventually go in this direction. As soon as we are  
ready to move to Tomcat 6 we'll just replace the jars in SVN and  
update the code as needed.

If anyone (else!) would like to see this happen soon, please comment  
here.
