2 -There is a bug in Tomcat, WO or Project Wonder that causes problems if you have more than one webapp deployed in a single instance of Tomcat if they don't all have identical classpaths. This bug will not impact most developers. If you are deploying a single application, or all your applications share the same classpath, then you will not run into this bug.

36 -=== Notes about JBoss ===
37 -
38 -I wouldn't consider myself a WAR expert, but I do deploy my WebObjects application using JBoss and it works very well.
39 -
40 -Have you tried a "Hello World" type example application? If you can get a simple application running under JBoss then you should be okay with a more complicated one. I suggest starting with "Hello World" and then adding a simple EOF and that should cover everything.
41 -
42 -There were a few tricky configurations in the initial setup. To be clear, I am using XCode, but it probably doesn't matter. Here are a few things to check.
43 -
44 -Check you jboss-web.xml file. You definitely need to configure this file properly if you are using EOF. The application will never get started properly without this file configured correctly.
45 -
46 -Make sure your deployment license gets built into the WAR file for deployment by setting the SERVLET//DEPLOY//LICENSE item.
47 -
48 -Make sure the servlet project settings are correct:
49 -
50 -* SERVLET//SINGLE//DIR//DEPLOY = NO//
51 -* SERVLET//TRUE//WAR = YES
52 -* SERVLET//WEBAPPS//DIR = /Library/JBoss/3.2/deploy
53 -
54 -Also, I explicitly defined a package for all of my classes. This prevents JBoss from complaining upon startup, however, JBoss still ran the application just fine anyway.
