Installations Instructions for Alfresco

[rdanner]

Is there a set of instructions on how to install alfresco from the war up on top of existing app server installations?

I haven't made a complete survey of the wiki for the material so forgive me if I am asking a dumb question.  If we dont have such a thing, we should come up with it.   bundling the software with a container has it's advantages for people looking to use alfresco as a sharepoint server or looking at demos but it is not practical for a organizations with existing application environments.

You should be able to deploy the WAR file from the Tomcat bundle into any app server as is.

The only other thing required is to make sure the MySQL (or whatever database is being used) JDBC driver is placed in the appservers classpath, for Tomcat this is <tomcat-home>/common/lib.

You can retrieve the MySQL driver we use from the Tomcat bundle.

JBoss is of the server of interest to me. (on rehat linux).  Tomcat has been very simple to deploy to.  JBoss has not been.  I can certainly figure it out and post my process but if it already exists on paper or in someones mind I didnt want to disregard it (I think i that is an admission of laziness <G>)

Anyway we should get an area together where we have different app servers installation instructions.  I guess it would be great if one build deployed in every container (the hope of j2ee) but that hasnt materialized yet (ie: jboss specific web.xml)
