Hi Jacopo, Thank you for looking into the matter.
Was just looking at loading standard web application due to one use-case, but the issue of deploying OFBiz WAR was bought up. Just to reiterate that allowing standard web application now should not impede efforts towards building OFBiz WAR later, unless there are plans to remove CatalinaContainer entirely. Thank you.
