Deploying webtop to JBOSS AS5

I attempted to deploy a customization of webtop 6.8 to JBOSS AS5. It was harder than I thought it would be. A lot of problems had to be addressed which are not covered in the Deployment Guide. After about 8 hours of various tweaks, I succeeded. Below are some critical bits;

I exploded the webtop.war file and created a folder named webtop.war which I deployed to the C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-5.0.0.GA\jboss-as\server\default\deploy directory
In the C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-5.0.0.GA\jboss-as\server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer directory, I modified web.xml (Tomcat's web.xml) to include the famous enablePooling parameter which is covered in most Webtop installation guides.

<init-param>

<param-name>enablePooling</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</init-param>

I added a jboss-web.xml file under the WEB-INF folder of my war with the following

<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC

"-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 4.2//EN"

"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_4_2.dtd">

<jboss-web>

<class-loading>

<loader-repository>org.xml.sax:loader=webtop.war

<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>

</loader-repository>

</class-loading>

</jboss-web>

Finally I added the following to the JBOSS run.bat

rem 20-Nov-2013

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% "-Djboss.vfs.forceCaseSensitive=true"

It smells like success!

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for: "Documentum" and select the first result that appears. This will relocate it to the Developer Network space of the Documentum community.

All what you need is read deployment guide.

WebTop 6.8? Or do you mean 6.7SP2?

6.8. I corrected the title

Thanks PanfilovAB. If only the Deployment Guide could make it that easy! I did reference the Deployment Guide early in my research. It's insufficient. I encountered many issues not addressed in the deployment guide which I have provided solutions for in my notes above.

Isn't 6.8 going to be released next year? Is it already released or it's an early access?

Nice catch. I think you're right. 6.8 is the version of our product (we OEM webtop). So it's webtop 6.7 and Prodagio 6.8. I get the two confused sometimes.
