Many many folks have been asking for a setup that's very similar to how
CF7/CF8/BDJX are set up in that the J2EE engine is "in the background"
and Apache simply processes site CFM files. This installer is hopefully
a step in that direction.

For anyone who's interested in this, I've got a "alpha" version of a
CentOS5/RHEL5 installer here:

http://clubwheat.viviotech.net/openbd_rhel5.sh

This installer sets up isolated instances of Sun's JRE, OpenBD, and
Tomcat, specifically for the purpose of processing CFML templates.

It is meant to be run from the command-line as the root user. So...

# sh openbd_rhel5.sh

This set up configures tomcat to make OpenBD the default processor for
all CFM files regardless of their host name or what directory they
originate from.

There is one caveat, you will need to update the "[OpenBD Install
Dir]/tomcat/server.xml" file with a new "<Host>" entry for each web site
that you have listed as an Apache VirtualHost. I am in the process of
writing up some documentation that will explain this in great detail,
but for now, a simple host entry with just the site URL (IE:
www.mysite.com) and the directory that files are coming from is all the
tomcat <Host> entry will need.

I will be writing documentation, and updating the installer to be more
multi-system compatible as time allows. Please let me know your
experiences, and (if you dare) feel free to offer patches! =D
