Re: Where to put plugins when running Forrest as webapp?
Hi,
Does anybody have some answers to these questions (context, see below):
when running Forrest as a webapp:
- where to put plugins?
- what should be the value of FORREST_HOME?
Thanks.

Just a thought.
The location of the plugins directory is set in forrest.properties. The
values in there are used to configure forrest-core.xconf
Are the plugins in the location defined by those properties? I suspect
they are not.

Thanks.

I think there are others, but most of the devs seem to use it to
generate static sites. Or host in Jetty.
We need help supporting the war generation facility.

Dear Ross,
Thank you for your support.
The fact is that indeed the existing plugins seem to be bundled, but the
only one that is "activated" (PDF) doesn't work.
Therefore I started checking the technical documentation, but it doesn't
seem to fit the webapp situation.
Anyway, I'll dig somewhat deeper, and raise an issue on Jira if necessary.
Btw, are there any other users running Forrest as a webapp on this list?

Just run 'forrest webapp'
They should be packaged for you, is this not the case? If not then
please raise an issue on Jira (severity = blocker)

FORREST_HOME is not relevant for war files, so no worries there
