Differences between app servers
Are there archetypes or something else out there that will differentiate
between application servers? We try to write cross platform Java and it
seems like our app server vendors are fighting us tooth and nail. I
suppose that is the reason for GlassFish but our shop isn't allowed to
use it.

Hi jim
The libraries goes on the web-inf/lib directory. I dont think there is
a global library option like oc4j in weblogic, something that im
really missing.

Clarification? Are you installing the jar libraries as Oracle shared
libraries or something? I'm totally gonna blow a gasket if I have to
do that.
I've created a new thread with more details of the problem in
question. It's entitled "Porting maven generated war files and ear
files to weblogic 10.3".

You know, after a lot of fighting on getting a war file to work with
WebLogic 10.3 I finally was a able to make it work. I did have to create the
weblogic.xml on the WEB-INF directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
8.1//EN" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic810-web-jar.dtd">
<weblogic-web-app>
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
</container-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>
But it still is incredibly annoying that I have to send the war file with
all libraries to make it to work.

Hi Jim
If you are not already using them, you might like to take a look at
Maven Profiles. By activating a profile, you can influence the
artifacts and resources which make up a particular build e.g.
targeting a specific appserver.
If you write a lot of web apps for deployment to different appservers,
you might end up writing your own archetype with profiles in place for
this - I'm not aware of any existing.

Not so much. Take Weblogic for example. You really can't deploy a
Struts2 based WAR file to it because of library conflicts. It would be
cool if I could specify somehow, somewhere that this is a Weblogic
project. Then it would always build as an ear and would include a
weblogic-application.xml with the excludes/prefers set so that the
conflicts don't happen. Also Weblogic insists on APP-INF rather than
WEB-INF. Perhaps that is related to the fact that it is now an *.ear
file though, I don't know.

What types of issue/differences are you facing? Are they compile/deploy or
runtime issues?
