I've been contemplating this for a while, but it is not an easy task. Essentially, we need to fully refactor the Catalina Container and do a lot of cleanup to reverse the way OFBiz is deployed to be a single web application, not multiple web applications mapped to a single servlet container as is the architecture at the moment.
For this to happen, we need to do many things: 1- Complete the refactoring of all containers to get the new signature of OfbizCommand argument list 2- Redesign the container so that everything is loaded once as a single webapp through one master servlet. This would have the advantage of being able to deploy OFBiz as a single WAR archive to be deployed in any servlet container 3- Redesign all components (if needed) to comply with this new architecture This is one of the things I've been dabbling with lately, but it's bigger than I expected. The code in the catalina container is very spaghetti like at the moment. So, I would say it's a good idea, but needs lots of cleanup / refactoring work first if you want to have a good chance of succeeding in implementation. Without a proper cleanup you might get a bit overwhelmed in trying to navigate the code maze :) So good luck.
