Webapp support in this release

[ant elder <an...@gmail.com>]

There's been a few past questions about what we're doing to support webapp's
in this release. I think the way the runtime is today webapp's should be
able to work just like the standalone J2SE samples and all we need to do is
make sure the all the tuscany dependency jars are included somewhere.

So how about all we do is have a webapp calculator sample similar to the one
from M2 but just use the standard Maven war plugin to create the WAR
bundling all the required dependencies into the webapp lib directory?

We could also have an alternative sample build that assumes all the required
tuscany jars are already in the tomcat shared lib so doesn't include them in
the sample WAR. (and provide some way to get all the jars needed to be put
in the shared lib?)

WDYT or any alternative suggestions?

Anyone want to volunteer to try doing this?

So we have a calculator webapp sample going now, is this enough for
the 0.90release or are there more things we need to do for webapp
support? One thing
I wondered about was supporting the Tuscany ServletHost within a webapp, I
don't think that will work right now so we don't support services using
binding.ws in a webapp. Does this matter for 0.90? Anyone like to have a
look at fixing it?

I have started looking into this yesterday, trying to make the das-service
web client working, but then decided to start simple as you are suggesting,
and started looking at a simple calculator web-app.

At the moment i have the sample web-app building Ok, with the necessary
dependencies on the war, but when I try to deploy the application to TC it
is complaining because the servlet-api jar is getting packaged in the
application war. I'm trying to play with the scope of the servlet-api
references to see if I can fix the issue.

Once I get this done, we could discuss the M1 tomcat distribution approach,
and the requirement for that.
