Hello Vidur,
We approach the problem a little differently. My company provides EJB
components that run in a J2EE app server. We provide deployment instructions
in the product for the servers that we have deployed on.
Its pretty straight forward. I don't think there much advantage to hiding
the appsever. Most of our customers see a strenght in knowing that we are
support a standards based app server and did not build everything ourselves.

Subject: Strategies for bundling Orion
Hello,
I need to deliver a "packaged" solution that uses Orion. I need to make
the installation as simple as possible and also not expose Orion server
to the customer. What are my options for delivering the server code?
The reasons for "hiding" Orion from the customer is to decrease their
perception of maintenance. After all, the customer is purchasing a
solution from me and they don't want to be bothered about the solution's
internal workings. Has anyone bundled an Orion server with the beans?
Any pitfalls that I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Vidur
