Thread: [Bodington-developers] commandline installer going

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I noticed that the commandline installer is due for removal - does this 
mean tomcat will go too? with bod as a pure war distro?

Yep, the installer and tomcat would disapear hand in hand off into 
(oblivion) the sunset at the same time.

I think the general intention is to have:
- a zipped WAR for deployment to a servlet container and database of 
your choice.
- a 'quick-start' WAR, which includes HSQLDB (i.e. the database engine 
and the persistent store itself - the db will be able to run in memory 
and within the same JVM as the servlet container) for deployment to a 
servlet container of your choice.

I think so. It has gone in WebLearn HEAD and we just have the 
servlet-api.jar (in /lib) so that you don't have any external 
dependancies for a build.

I think there may be a small case for providing a ZIP of tomcat and a 
preconfigured Bodington in one but as installing Tomcat is so easy 
(especially on Windows) and a Bodington WAR install should be pretty 
easy soon (once the HSQLDB and context independant stuff is in) too I 
don't see what we would gain.
