RE: [Flock-devel] XML file has no top-element?

[John R. <ins...@ea...>]

You can probably specify somewhere whether or not a war is decompressed or not. But if Resin is decompressing to a temp directory and you make changes to the temp directory, I don't think that would work.
My intention is that you can pre-expand the war file in the webapps directory. i.e. instead of an file called flock.war, you have a directory called flock.war (which you would create by unzipping the war file to the webapp directory. I can't tell you offhand if Resin will deploy a war in this fashion. Some app servers might require you to add something to a configuration file that tells it what to use to deploy an war *directory*. If you don't know, then you can just extract the war file, delete/arrange/whatever the jar files, and then re-zip the war and deploy.

To run it as an NT service you can try:

No guarantees on how well it works. There are other similar programs out there.

Take care,
