Hi Peter,
I have a plan... ;-)
After all the pleas from the OfBiz community, I have seen the error of
my ways and decided to install OfBiz complete with the ecommerce app.
I think I can set things up under Tomcat such that Cocoon is the default
webapp and OfBiz has a context path like '/estore'. This way, Cocoon's
servlet will receive all HTTP requests unless they start with '/estore'
in which case the reuest will be passed by Tomcat to OfBiz. I'm
assuming this can be done because the Tomcat spec [1] says: -
"The web application used to process each HTTP request is selected
by Catalina based on matching the longest possible prefix of the
Request URI against the /context path/ of each defined Context."
This sounds like the best compromise for me. I get to only require one
SSL certificate to protect ALL my webapps in the same domain and all my
normal (non-commerce) content is served by my content management system
(CMS) running under Cocoon.
