AppFuseOnResin

This page describes my attempt to get AppFuse 1.6 working on Resin. In general, I found that there were a fair amount of bugs with Resin 3.0.9. The major one being that SiteMesh can't decorate forwards if you have a FORWARD dispatch on its filter-mapping in web.xml. I also had to hack the displaytag to make the non-EL version work. My experience can be found here.

The good news is I discovered that AppFuse runs on Resin 2.1.14 pretty good. The only modification you need to make is to comment-out or delete the entries for Clickstream's <listener> and <filter-mapping> in web.xml.

To install AppFuse on either version of Resin, you will need to copy your JBDC Driver, jta.jar, mail.jar and activation.jar to $RESIN_HOME/lib. Then include metadata/conf/resin-web-2.1.xml in appfuse.war's WEB-INF directory, or in the expanded WEB-INF directory. Rename it to resin-web.xml after you copy it. For Resin 3.0.x, use metadata/conf/resin-web.xml. You will need to fill in the database driver, connection and username/password information in these files.
