heya, I've trying to get my Django app to run on a Tomcat 5.x server, using django-jython. I'm a bit of a newbie in the Java/Tomcat world though.
Firstly, I'm currently using PostgreSQL. However, to make things easier on the target server, I was just going to use SQLite3 - the app will only be used by two users, and getting a database in this deployment environment is a bit tricky. However, I read on the django- jython pages that SQlite3 support is experimental and considered risky: http://packages.python.org/django-jython/database-backends.html Is that still true? Should I try and push hard to get a database setup for me? The only one they offer is MySQL, there's a few hoops to get that though. Secondly, apparently this Tomcat server doesn't take WAR archives files, you need to explode them first. Anyhow, I've unzipped the WAR archive to the directory, now I'm not exactly sure how to get it to actually run. Under my app context directory, my structure looks like (where application is called chair, just for example's sake) \chair - application.py - application$py.class \WEB-INF web.xml \lib - jruby-extras-fileservlet.jar - jython.jar \lib-python - Lib.pth - README \chair \django \doj \Lib etc. Is this right, or am I missing any files/directories in the WAR creation? Apart from setting up the context, what exactly do I need to do (or get the web server administrator) to do to get the application to run? Do I need to get them to import the web.xml file? I had a look in there, didn't seem to find anything that seems to "run" my app, or point to anything to get it to run?
