  1. installing a war file in orion 1.4.5 (2 messages)

    This is an orion newbie question. We have an application
    that installs as a war file and runs with tomcat
    and weblogic. We are looking at running with orion
    as well.

    Is there a FAQ or posting somewhere that gives a
    roadmap on which of the various .xml files in
    the config directory need to be modified to
    tell orion about a web application? I have not
    been able to find anything in the doc....

  2. installing a war file in orion 1.4.5[ Go to top ]

    If you can't find the info on orionserver.com or orionsuppoert.com, it's definitely in the mailing list archive somewhere (accessible from orionserver.com).

    The basics: Orion won't accept just a WAR, it needs a whole application in an EAR. However, you can make your WAR a module of the default application, which amounts to the same thing.

    I don't remember the details, but you can find them in the list.

  3. installing a war file in orion 1.4.5[ Go to top ]

    We just did a distribution of Maverick (mav.sourceforge.net) and our sample ships as a war file, so here is a section from our installation.

    1. Add this to the end of orion/config/application.xml:

    <web-module id="myWebApp" path="../applications/myWebApp.war" />

    2. Add this to orion/config/default-web-site.xml:

    <web-app application="default" name="myWebApp" root="/URLPath" />

    Hope that helps,
    skot
