Hi! I resolved trying 'forrest webapp' to get forrest running as a Windows service and running it in tomcat.
This is not a well-documented feature, e.g. I'm not sure about the differences between 'webapp', webapp-local' and 'war' options. To get it running, using forrest-0.7-377981: 1. Adapt web.xml, see http://tinyurl.com/cn5ep (Mail archive) Now Forrest runs and produces some output but *not a single* plugin works: output.pdf, input.sdocbook, input.excel, input.projectInfo 2. Copy Forrest/build/plugins into the webapp dir and change the plugins entry in in webapps\my-project\WEB-INF\xconf\forrest-core.xconf to <plugins>@context.home@/plugins</plugins> as described in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-403 (which is marked as fixed). This seems to work using Forrest-0.7-latest. I also tried Forrest-HEAD (r377981) but 'forrest webapp' seems to be broken: it looks for tab2menu.xsl instead for the renamed tab-to-menu.xsl; 'forrest run' works fine. Now, to get this mail out and keep it short ... I'm struggling with tomcat because I only can start it once: after stopping the service I get some java errors about a "valve". Will invesitgate but would appreciate any hints.
