Thanks everyone for your replies and apologies for my slow reply (have been hiding out in the warehouse implementing ofbiz).
To be honest I dont have any preference on how to deploy ofbiz, I am just searching for the best way to scale ofbiz beyond a couple of servers. We are looking at needing a system that can handle 1m page views a month now and 5x that in 12 months. JBoss was tempting me with their feature of farming deployment ( http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r4/html/cluster.chapt.html ) I will certainly read more into Websphere - a brief look at their feature list is interesting. Perhaps the quickest and cheapest solution would be Tomcat as that work has just been done.

We have used JBoss (with other apps in production) in the past and moved off of it due to performance issues under the severe load we put on our applications. Websphere looks good and lightweight and one of our sister companies uses it in heavy duty environments with much success. Why not consider Websphere (community edition is all apache bits and pieces), unless you have a real pressing need to use JBoss. There is a wiki page that Jacques put together on how to deploy.

I would even guess that there *are* many installations like that, just maybe nobody sat down and wrote the howto for that or committed a modified build script which creates the artifacts in question. What I know about it so far is: - OFBiz contains a number of webapps, so it cannot live in just one WAR archive. It might be possible to create an EAR archive, though. - I think there are some config files which are shared across webapps. I am not sure how this would fit into a typical deploy policy for any production ready hosting. Do we have a Wiki page on that subject yet? Is there anyone who has done this and could share some dos and don'ts? Or would there any code changes be needed?
