I had previously built RPMs for RHEL4, but alas they couldn't be redistributed. The truth now is that if you embed everything, you can simply get away with a rather generic setup using Wonder's apache adaptor, along with the revisions of wotaskd and javamonitor there. Once you have these services running, deploying a fully embedded app has been made somewhat trivial. There is still the location of applications that must be set, but that is defined by NEXT_ROOT I believe with JavaMonitor and wotaskd startup scripts. The hardest problem still on the Linux end is getting a JVM there via packages. But that itself is getting easier with the newer "free" openjdk's. > > On 28/08/2008, at 6:08 AM, James Cicenia wrote: > >> Is there a good link to instructions on how to deploy on Linux, RedHat? >> >> I want to learn how to do this.
