very interesting information! thanks ... I didn´t find any information concerning how to share common data between different ofbiz instances!
For instance the product images (stored in folder \framework\images\webapp\images\products). If a user adds or changes images by using the category manager and different ofbiz instances are using the images. How does it work for you? Do you store the whole ofbiz code on a EBS share and every ofbiz instance uses this share? Do you save the images in database instead using the filesystem? thanks mahesh On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 5:49 AM, M Nakamura <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm not using OFBiz for a while, but I'm a heavy user of EC2, and I > would say EBS is a good solution. > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 11:40 AM, Tim Ruppert > <[email protected]> wrote: > > yeah - I definitely wouldn't be able to justify anything related to > > deploying in the stock Tomcat - it's just not worth the effort.
