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.
