I have done some work about that these last weeks for a client. Now OFBiz is
running under Websphere Application Server Community
Edition 2 (WASCE) which is derived from Geronimo 2.0.1. But I have a problem
with Geronimo itself. I will commit soon with a
guidelines in OFBiz doc, still some tests to do... I used a simple approach,
there are no changes in OFBiz but in appserver.
One point on which I failed is to allow multi-instances of OFBiz running in
WASCE. I got conflicts between OFBiz modules when
wanting to run multi-instances. For instance webtools have the same names in
each instance. I thought I had an easy solution, by
prefixing modules for each instance. But then I found 2 new problems.
To run, OFBiz needs a classpath with some sub-directories (mostly config, dtd,
script) of each components. So I pass them to the
JVM. But I can't pass 2 classpathes (one for each instance) since I get
conflict between them, though I'm not sure it's really a
problem
For the same reason, I must pass an "ofbiz.home" env value to the JVM and there
I'm really caught.
Of course if we succeed on this issue, this will benefit to the community at
large as it will allow to run many OFBiz instances with
only one Tomcat engine (Geronimo embed Tomcat or Jetty). Commercially I
believe it could be very interesting...
I'm confident we will find soon a solution to run OFBiz under Geronimo itself (I tried also wiht last version : 2.1). But actually
it's not a real problem as wasce 2 is available for free. I'm not sure about the sources though. Anyway, it's not bad to pretend
running under an IBM application server, PHBs like it ;o)

Hi,All

somebody can be tell me. I remember the ofbiz 2.0 still
can be deployed some of application server(like jboss or others)
but now, where is the feature?
