Using jetty instead of tomcat

[byersa]

I can't find any documentation on switching from tomcat to jetty. Is
it as simple as just uncommenting the jetty line in
framework/component-load.xml?

Do I need to comment anything?

How can I tell that jetty is running?

Thanks to Joe for keeping the jetty stuff up-to-date. I see that you
made a commit just back in March.

Thanks for the reply, but what does it mean to:

Use "framework/base/config/jetty-containers.xml" instead of
"framework/base/config/ofbiz-containers.xml".

How do I turn one on and the other off?

I got this from Joe Eckard and think it is worth sharing for anyone
else coming along. Thanks Joe.

Switching to jetty and back is easy & painless - first you need to
edit /framework/component-load.xml to make sure the jetty component is
active and the catalina component is disabled. Then you need to make
sure the jetty config is available - you can do that by copying the
"jetty-container" section from jetty.properties into ofbiz.properties,
or copy jetty.properties to ofbiz.properties in framework/base/config,
or supply "jetty" as a command-line argument when running ofbiz. (e.g.
"java -jar ofbiz.jar jetty" - this will cause Start.java to load the
startup jetty.properties, which tells ofbiz to use
framework/base/config/jetty.properties instead of the default
framework/base/config/ofbiz.properties)

Thanks Al, Joe,

Maybe this could go in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo
Or more likely https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

Jacques,

It looks like I am not registered with apache and I don't see a way to
do that. Can you tell me how I can get permission to post to the
cwiki?

Thanks,

I think things have changed in the later versions of OFBiz. See below:

This part was easy enough.

What I ended up doing was modifying the "start.properties" file with
these lines:


# --- Location (relative to ofbiz.home) for (normal) container configuration
#ofbiz.container.config=framework/base/config/ofbiz-containers.xml
ofbiz.container.config=framework/base/config/jetty-containers.xml

Note the second line was already commented out. There is a default
parameter in Start.java pointing to ofbiz-containers.
Then I rebuilt the start package and things seemed to work.

Al,

If you don't expect to use it much an easier way would be to add your changes (paragrah) in a comment at the bottom of the page (the
same editor is used) and then I will update it.
For the FAQ it's open to everyone, but yes I guess the best place is the production guide

Thanks

Jacques
