Re: deploying ofbiz in amazon EC2

[Tim Ruppert]

yeah - I definitely wouldn't be able to justify anything related to deploying in the stock Tomcat - it's just not worth the effort. The way that Brett described it is exactly what I'd do if I were using EC2. The problems, as I know it are:

1. Issues with Disk
-- Local vs Networked
-- Being lost ALL together
-- Unrecoverable
2. Timing issues
-- Clock synchronization can cause data to be out of sync.
3. etc



Cheers,
Ruppert

There are many others - you just have to find the people who are worried about their performance and data and not just about the cost. I'll dig in and try to find some better case studies in the not too distant future, but I just wouldn't bet on it is all I'm saying.

What are the issues you've had with EC2? We've been using it for several months now and haven't found a problem. Curious what others are finding for

f others are using it.

Thread specific: we are using the OOTB ofbiz embedded tomcat and use svn to distribute code to our EC2 servers. I can't see a good enough reason to try and use a WAR file with Tocmat when ofbiz integrates with it very well. On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Tim Ruppert <tim.rupp...@hotwaxmedia.com >wrote:

No, it is not possible :)

war file.


I
can investigate deploying to glassfish as a single war.

Many thanks in advance,

Tomcat runs as a container inside ofbiz. You can disable it if you want to, or replace it by jetty. But you can not run ofbiz into tomcat. Imho:) I'm currently looking into setting up ofbiz in an amazon EC2 instance. I'm still at early prototyping stage, but I think it would make sense to be able to build ofbiz offline and then deploy it to tomcat as a single Is it possible to compile ofbiz to a single war file for tomcat? If not
