Karan, thanks for updating the (Tomcat) New Instructions page (I just needed to know how you did the lookup), however:
Placing the restrictions up top like that will just scare off users - the implication is that it won't work on Windows. I think the instructions can be reduced to a few simple steps (and you should probably skip all the Tomcat installation steps) 1) unzip openejb-tomcat-3.x.x-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip into the Tomcat's webapps folder (btw no need to start/stop Tomcat at this point) 2) Non-Windows users: go to http://localhost:8080/openejb/install Windows users: a) remove Tomcat's lib/annotations-api.jar (add an explanation here) b) edit Tomcat's bin/catalina.bat file .... 3) restart Tomcat caveats: - There is no security integration - Injection is work in progress.. i.e. @EJB, @Resource, @PersistenceContext... As for the remark "support older versions of Tomcat if there were enough demand, but it is doubtful there will be since OpenEJB 3 requires Java5", well Tomcat 5.5 runs on Java5 and is still quite prevalent (many sites/hosting providers will not move to Tomcat 6 until 6.1). So I gave it a try on 5.5 and got the "LifeCyle" class (from catalina.jar) not found via the webapp classloader. Probably a dumb question, but could 5.5 be supported as well if we added all the OpenEJB jars into Tomcat's lib folder? Which begs the question, is OpenEJB a feature request to be streamlined into Tomcat in the future? And what exactly is the story behind annotations-api.jar at Tomcat anyway (why is there)? -Dario > Oops, > > Sorry, forgot to paste the url for the instructions > > openejb-tomcat-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip > > On 9/13/07, Karan Malhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Dario, >> >> Here are the instructions.
