Sathwik Bantwal Premakumar commented on ODE-1060:
-------------------------------------------------

Created a experimental git branch https://github.com/apache/ode/tree/ODE-1060 with couple of initial commits.

# Tomee 1.7.4 (JEE 6 certified) or 7.0.1 (JEE 7 not yet certified)?
** Went ahead with Tomee 7.0.1 as it has good support to deploy a jar as a webapp (deployClasspathAsWebApp).
# Packaging of ODE web application within apache-ode-tomee-uber.jar? What options are available?
** The packaging will be a zip file which will contain tomee libraries and ode war. Tomee will be started in embedded mode and will deploy the embedded ODE war. The datasource used will be derby database. This kind of packaging helps in resolving library conflicts that may arise in future. Hibernate is the preferred JPA for deployment, It gives the flexibility to engage Hibernate at the Embedded Tomee or with in the ODE war. This will also help in deploying customer specific implementation for custom XPATH functions and ODE event listeners.
# apache-ode-tomee-uber.jar might have to be built without JaxRS,JaxWS,JSF dependencies of Tomee?
** As indicated the packaging will be a zip archive and embedded tomee has JaxRS,CXF and JSF excluded.
# Uber jar will have OpenJPA dependencies included, For hibernate usage where do we store and load Hibernate dependencies since the application is started from the uber jar?
**  This packaging structure should provide the flexibility to engage Hibernate at the Embedded Tomee or with in the ODE war.
# Slf4j Logging configuration? Tomee uses SLF4J with jdk implementation and ODE uses Log4j2 implementation.
** Logging configurations is being provided at the embedded container level. 
# We need to externalize conf , embedded derby database and process deployment folders.
** A separate conf folder holding configurations for the embedded TOMEE is provided. Derby database containing OpenJPA and HIbernate Schema are provided. Process deployment folder can be externalized with the system property setting which is already available with ODE. Default would be the usual WEB-INF/processes under the ODE web application.
# Embedded database configuration is no more valid in this server configuration, as we will have the datasource defined in the tomee.xml pointing to the database folder (Openjpa=derbyjpa, Hibernate=derbyhib). TM and DS will be looked up from JNDI.
** The default is configured as External datasource pointing to embedded derbyjpa. This is only for demo purposes and customers need to configure to other databases of their choice for realtime usage by adding the relevant drivers jars to embeeded tomee and configuring the datasources in tomee.xml.
# User should be able to change the axis2.xml, hence where do we place axis2.xml and Axis2 kernel to load it?
** There is no change in the location of the axis2.xml. It will remain within ODE web application.
