Installation in Glassfish instead of using jboss?

[pdrolet]

Hi,

I already have glassfish as application server and I would prefer not installing another AS. So, is it possible to run OpenKM in the glassfish container? Has it been done? Thanks for your answer.

We\'ve never tryed with glassfish.

It could be possible to run on other application server, but you\'ll need to do some changes, major depencies on OpenKM are tomcat, seems not problem at glassfish, problems sure it\'ll be :
1- Authentication ( jaas based )
2- xml descriptor ( jboss-web.xml )
3- other problem could be webservices ( we\'ve got java 1.5 annotations for it and I don\'t know about glassflish compliance ? )

I don\'t suggest you working on that direction, althought I think it could be possible to run on a glassfish, I\'m not sure the problems we\'ll found.

More important question, you might not use OpenKM on the same server with other aplication, I don\'t recomend, althought could run well with other applications, is good practice for any DMS to set on a dedicated server to OpenKM.

Really some question we\'ve got on mind is to be dependant only with tomcat ( remove EJB definitivally, really we\'re not using ), we\'ve got on discussion during last year.

Hello

Thanks for your answer.

Nowadays with computers being more and more powerfull with lots of GB to spare, I think this should be made easy to intall multiple apps on the same server.

I love Glassfish. We use it for webservices with a postgres backend. This has been very stable and fast. And it is easy to deploy apps and to monitor its activity (time spent on each request and many other things). We never had that stability with Tomcat nor that capacity to monitor everything as we do now.

Ear app have standards but I recognize that they are not always portable from an AS to another. But I will try. I keep you posted.

We\'ll trying help you doing it. I think jboss-web.xml it\'ll be easilly portable to glassfish.

But jaas ( jboss autentication ) could be the real problem.

We\'ll be waiting your feeling about.
