Jetspeed and application servers

[Dirk Hamstra <di...@b3interactive.com>]

Hi!

I'm trying to deploy Jetspeed on a number of different application servers,
notably ATG, Websphere, iPlanet, iPAS and WebLogic. Turns out that most
vendors have implemented different deployment tools and assume different
directory structures from the one in the WAR-distribution. So I'm trying to
find out two things:

1. what other application servers are used with Jetspeed?
2. looking for specific deployment steps (configuration, changes in
descriptor files etc.) for Jetspeed on Websphere 3.5 and WebLogic 6.

Goal is to ultimately feed  this back in to the FAQ

We have a version deployed using JRun 2.3. It corresponds to Jetspeed 1.2 (august+patches).
At this time, we had no WAR distribution. On the other side, JRun is servlet 2.0, like JServ.

The configuration, if I recall correctly, involved defining all path to the configuration file
in the servlet configuration (menu based), plus defining the mapping, for the servlet and for
the static content. No special problems once the guys in production Dptmt. managed some problem
with name resolution (the machine had several IP addresses, and the generated URLs used the wrong
one).

We will migrate a new version, Jetspeed1.3+ (don't know dates yet) to JRun 3.0.

For our working copies, we used JServ (except myself with Tomcat). Now most of the team
is migrating to servlet 2.2 -> tomcat, except for the support of the version quoted above.

Thanks for collecting and formatting the info.

Wait a second. The WAR distribution scheme is defined by the Servlet API. If
they are not following the Servlet API, then I wouldn't recommend using
those products.

If you can come up with a list of discrepancies, I will forward that to the
appropriate people and bitch loudly. :-)
