Better WAR building for the WebConsole
--------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1281
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Broker
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Mario Siegenthaler
         Attachments: webconsole-patch.txt

The webconsole can be deployed in any webcontainer and is also started by 
default within the broker. However the building and configuration process is 
unclear.

* To resolve that issue I added some documentation about how to run the war in 
an external servlet container and changed some default setting. Also I changed 
the version that is started within the broker to the invm version instead of 
the 'custom' configuration that was previously included in the 
assembly/src/release/webapp/WEB-INF.
* The maven jetty:run on the web-console project will still start up the 
embedded version, but I fixed the bug that caused it to leak sessions (switched 
to the spring-2.0 syntax for the configuration file).
* I removed some JARs from the WEB-INF/lib of the war because they should be 
provided by the servlet container. This affects some specifications (JMX, JMS), 
the activation-jar and, most important, the activemq-core jar.

I hope this does the job and makes the deployment experience for the users 
easier.

Note: I had some problems putting together the patch as my subversion (or my 
inability to communicate with it) insisted on leaving out some files I created 
:) I think they're all in now, but I'm not sure. So if anything is missing... :)
