Hello Phlogiston,
I have successfully deployed FTPServer on Tomcat , Glassfish and a modified
version of Sun Java App Server 8 which was the only one with a
SecurityManager installed.
In order for FTPServer to work with a security manager I had to grant the
following permissions:grant {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "writeFileDescriptor";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "readFileDescriptor";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "modifyThread";
};
Although I had several grants already so it could be more in your case.
Maybe this is interesting for the documentation by the way.
Apart from this, running FTPServer inside an AppServer is straight forward
( We used to Java some problems with the versions working on Mina for Java
1.4 but everything is working fine in the latest releases).
Thanks to Spring, you can deploy FTPServer as a rar file:
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframework/jca/context/SpringContextResourceAdapter.html
Which should be the best option, although I haven't tried this yet.
I deploy it inside a war file, the "web application" has a context listener
which will load ftpserver when the context is initialized and will stop the
server when the context is destroyed. This way, I can even have a Servlet
that reloads ftpserver after configuration changes.
I hope I was of any help.
