Hi. I have (again) restarted my openbd "transition" (I have very huge CF systems) and have been searching this group for info I am quite certain was here before. Has some topics been deleted/archived/moved?
I am for instance sure that I myself was pretty involved in discussions regarding Jetty setup and virtual hosts, as was many others. Now when I search for "Jetty" I get "6 results for jetty". None of them contains the discussions i took part in. I know that the discussions about Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss and so on is not directly related to OpenBD, but believe me, the problems of configuring them is really the main reason for many not to take the step and start testing OpenBD seriously. I think that most people coming from ColdFusion are using plenty of virtual directories, virtual hosts and so on and are used to the fact that CF processing all cfml wherever they are residing, as long as the IIS or Apache can find them. I understand the reasoning for setting up openbd in a way that is standard in the Jetty/Tomcat world, but I do also think that it should be possible to select a "global" option, like the 1.0 Jetty/OpenBD bundle. At least the steps would need to be well documented since not all CF programmers are experts in configuring the servlet engines and neither do they wish to be. I think that what most people really need is: 1. Virtual hosts 2. Virtual directories I am currently working on openbd on Tomcat (used to be Jetty) because our hosting partner use that and altough the hostname alias is easy, it seems impossible to create alias for directories and keep openbd intact. I say "seems" because neither I or "they" manage to do it. It is extremely frustrating. I assume that people used to work with servlets and Tomcat structure their code in a different way, because documentation about it are sparse and scattered on the Internet, not only in this group. Would it maybe be a good idea to create a sub group for servlet engine configuration for OpenBD?
