Sunil,

Marking as off-topic because this has nothing to do with Tomcat
directly. On the other hand, it's about web applications and
deployment, so... (see below).

So, you want to deploy a some blogging software *inside* your own
webapp? I would personally deploy them separately, and maybe configure
SSO if you need shared-logins across the two webapps.

I'm sure there is some blogging software out there that can be
extracted and merged-into your own webapp, but it's not going to be
pretty. If you're looking for Java-based blogging software, Apache
Roller is an option. Long ago, I tried it out and wasn't happy with
it, but that was a very long time ago, before it went through the
incubator and became Apache Roller.

I would certainly avoid having to "deploy" articles: blog software
should save your stuff to something more permanent like a database.
Otherwise, you'll have all your articles deleted if/when you un-deploy.

You need to upgrade that thing before someone compromises your server.
