You'd need to install in the Enterprise/Developer Multiserver mode of deployment, in order to deploy a WAR-based app (like OpenCMS) alongside CF. Even then, it wouldn't really be running "in CF". It would be using JRun as the J2EE server on which it executes. (And no, as far as I know, one cannot deploy a WAR file on CF Standard or on the Server form of deployment for Enterprise/Developer, since those run atop a highly customized version of JRun.)
There have been cases of people picking apart a WAR-based app and integrating the two to run at once in a single web app, but it would take a great deal of knowledge of both that app and CF's internals to break the WAR apart, put the right pieces in the right place, assure there are no class/jar conflicts, and so on. It's been done. But really it begs the question: do you need to? Is there real value in both CF and the CMS running as a single web app. If not, it's easier just to run it alongside. To your original question, if you do have the Multiserver mode, then yes you can run OpenCMS as another app on JRun. But if you don't, or if there's not much to be gained with even doing that, you can just stick running it in Tomcat running on the same machine at the same time. The overhead difference in doing so shouldn't be substantial, and especially since you say you're just doing it for development/training purposes. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Forrest C.
