Janne Jalkanen commented on JSPWIKI-440:
----------------------------------------
This won't actually really solve anything, because it still does not make
jspwiki deployable through a WAR file. It will just change the questions from
"why is there an error" to "where heck did my files go" or "why did jspwiki
destroy my pages when I booted my computer?" (/tmp is typically emptied at
bootup...)
The real solution is to really enforce the Installer to come up if the system
is not configured properly. Unfortunately, the way that WAR files work is
making a persistent configuration bloody difficult to do in any sane fashion.
Almost everything requires either editing of the servlet parameters (no
programmatic access => no auto install), or using an API which hides everything
(Preferences).
The current way we do it fails beautifully if the WAR files are not unpacked by
default. If Plesk does this, there is nothing useful that we can really do.
J2EE has some major faults, this being one of them. It is very difficult to
build a webapp which can be installed automatically.

> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Servlet Container/Java compatibility
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Environment: I have JAVA 1.5 installed on Suse Linux 10 and use Plesk
> 9.x with a simple web interface.
> Reporter: Jens Doll
> Assignee: Harry Metske
> Priority: Minor
>
> I just tried to install your Wiki, but did not succeed with it. I use Plesk
> and a simple dialogue to upload *.war applications.
> You would do yourselves and the community a big favour, if you would kindly
> configure the Wiki for ease-of -use also under Plesk.
