It may be just easier to get Jetty + OpenEJB working. There are also other features that make Jetty a nice alternative. I'll look into the interim solution that Jonathan proposed.
I guess the answer to a certified OpenEJB + Jetty configuration is out of the picture for the foreseeable future, correct? -----Original Message----- From: Romain Manni-Bucau [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 3:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Is OpenEJB + Jetty dead? it cant out of the box, well maybe you should ping tomcat mailing list before. if somebody is interesting it can help.
