Andrea,

The easiest to move from ACF for me was to use the VivoTech installer. This 
will set up a single monolithic install of the OBD engine for all the 
virtual host sites ... very similar to the way ACF does it. 

The other way, which you may want to explore after getting the VivoTech 
installation, is to set up a java application for each site. This gives a 
bit more robustness, as one site has very slim chance to take down a 
different site as they are technically running on different instances of 
the OBD server, but adds a level of complexity to the set up and 
administration of the system as all the settings could potentially be 
different from site to site.

The VivoTech installer can be found:

One note, That installer comes with a helper application that is supposed 
to automatically setup the java context as you deploy virtualHosts. It is 
the last thing the installer sets up. On everyone of my runs of the 
installer, it errors at that point. For me that's no big deal because I set 
up the context for each site manually. If you get the error there, and have 
no worries setting up the java server context then you can safely ignore 
that error.

For reference, to manually set up the java context, you simply edit the 
server.xml file located in [install Dir]/openbd/tomcat/conf/  and add 
something like the following at the end of the file right before the 
</Engine> line for each site you are deploying: 

<Host name="www.domain.com" appBase="/www/sites/domain.com" 
deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" deployIgnore=".*">
<Alias>domain.com</Alias>
<Context path="" docBase="/www/sites/domain.com/" useHttpOnly="true" 
allowLinking="true" />
</Host>

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Alan
