setting up Ode to run as a war file

["Jackson, Douglas" <do...@siemens.com>]

Hi!
I don't see anything in the documentation mentioning org.apache.ode.rootDir for deploying Ode as a war file (rather than expanded war).

I think it would make sense to describe what an administrator has to do when deploying Ode that way.  I pointed the rootDir at an empty directory and Ode failed saying there was no conf directory in it.  So apparently I have to copy those things out of the war file - it would be nice if that were documented.  Is that something that Ode could do itself (If the rootDir is empty search the classpath for the configuration directories and copy them to the working directory)?

-Doug.

Yet another documentation hole :)

It probably could yes. Would you be interested in working on it?

Thanks,
