Re: How can OpenEJB ignore old webapps in Tomcat?
Hi Jean-Louis, Thanks very much for your quick response and interest in this feature. It is definitely a requirement for our deployments, as OpenEJB will be supporting an application that will run in a shared Tomcat environment at virtually all our customer sites. Another benefit for many use cases would be quicker Tomcat startup time, and I have seen some posts on this forum indicating that this is also important to some other OpenEJB users. As to how it is implemented, I think the only firm requirement is that it be easily configurable at deployment time. Off the top of my head, I would think that new system properties and/or openejb.xml settings would make the most sense. Again, let me know how I can help and what your plans are. I know that we would want to use this feature to support OpenEJB deployments later this year.

Hi Fred, If it's a requirement for you, i'd be more than happy to provide such a feature. Would like to get community opinion on the best way to implement it. Kind regards, Jean-Louis freeway wrote: Hi Jean-Louis and forum, I would like to press for this kind of enhancement to embedded OpenEJB: that is, one that allows particular webapps in the Tomcat environment to be included/excluded from its scope. I am frankly amazed that such a basic feature was not built into the package from the very beginning. Production environments are not sandboxes, most of them are shared with applications of various origins and ages, written in different coding styles. Not being able to limit the scope of OpenEJB in a shared Tomcat environment raises grave doubts about whether we should use it at all! Otherwise, how can we ever be sure that some other webapp deployed before or after OpenEJB will not break it? I would be glad to discuss the point in more detail with the project team, or provide other materials that would further progress. (I could also attempt my own hacks to your source code of course, but am much less confident of success using that approach!)
