I would like to add that this vote is about moving the specialpurpose/appserver component to attic: the component was intended to create the configuration scripts for the deployment on application servers; as Pierre mentioned, this approach doesn't work anymore unless you use very old and discontinued OFBiz versions (pre 2011). The effort of enabling OFBiz to be deployed on external application server is still valuable and should, in my opinion, a goal for the community, but this appserver component is no more the way to implement this and so it can be moved to attic.
So my vote is: +1 Jacopo On Mar 17, 2015, at 12:31 PM, Pierre Smits <[email protected]> wrote: > *Rationale:* > Back in the day (pre r11.x) we enabled users to have OFBiz working in > external web containers, like Apache Tomcat, IBM Websphere and Jetty. > However, focus of the community migrated away from that and improved the > use of the internally used servlet solution (also Apache Tomcat). > Since then the functionality of the component to have OFBiz work with these > external web containers stopped working and in recent years no contributor > felt the itch to correct/improve this situation. > > I therefor propose: > > - that we move the component from trunk to our attic, and > - we don't include it in future releases (including the upcoming r14.x > branch release r14.12.01) > > For this proposal the normal 72 hour rule applies. > > Best regards, > > Pierre Smits > > *ORRTIZ.COM <http://www.orrtiz.com>* > Services & Solutions for Cloud- > Based Manufacturing, Professional > Services and Retail & Trade > http://www.orrtiz.com
