Hello folks;

I have started to integrate OpenWebBeans into OpenEJB+Tomcat integration
code. I mainly use and update following modules

- openejb-tomcat-catalina
- openejb-tomcat-loader
- openejb-tomcat-webapp

FYI, I have already integrated OWB with Apache Tomcat 6, therefore no need
to define any configuration files to use OWB in Tomcat. Currently, OWB also
supports OpenEJB in Tomcat but developer has to manage configuration files
(adding OpenWebBeansEJBInterceptor to every beans) and library dependencies.


Main point for this integration is to relief developers from burden of
configuration issues.

What I am currently doing

1- Adding more comments for those modules. Currently, those modules do not
contain so much comment and it is hard to understand code without comments.
I understood the code finally with time consuming and not want any other
developer have troubles with the same experience.

2- Update openejb-tomcat-webapp to add OpenWebBeans specific libraries in
the resulting war. there are two sections here, one for adding libraries to
Catalina ClassLoader (adding owb-api, spi etc.) and one for adding libraries
into users web application's class loaders (owb-impl, owb-web etc.)

3- Update TomcatWebBuilder for adding Context Listener to web applications
and adding OpenWebBeansEJB interceptor to ejb beans (If web module has
WEB-INF/beans.xml)

If I successful on getting working code, there is need to configure anything
to run OWB with OpenEJB and Tomcat. just packages web applications with
WEB-INF/beans.xml.

Thanks;
