Thanks, Greg.

I realize trying to create an "immutable" war and store all local configuration and resources outside the war is non-trivial, but couldn't one just take the "build/roller" directory and JAR it up into a roller.war file and deploy to Tomcat? By default Tomcat will "explode" the war into a directory. Some additional manual configuration will be required at this point, but at least it's a start down the path of creating a war.

Has anyone done this? Does it make sense to add an "experimental" target in build.xml to create a roller.war?

Thanks,

Sean

Sean,

The ability to "Deploy as WAR" is an open improvement in the Roller JIRA 
(opened 11/Nov/02).  There is no other detail in the JIRA other than that, but it is 
ROL-95 and can be found at:
http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-95
There is a thread with details on what changes need to be made on the 
roller-development archive at sourceforge.net.  Here is the long url:

Subject: Building a war?


Hi,

My apologies if this has been asked before or the answer is obvious.  I can't 
seem to find any documentation on how to build (or install) a .war version of 
Roller.  Can this be done?  Should this be done?

Thanks,

Sean
