[esb-java-dev] Re: [esb-java-user] Running the ESB as an Embedded Tomcat Server or a web application

[Asankha C. Perera]

Since the ESB changes the synapse.xml etc at runtime, these files and 
folders (such as registry) should remain in the file system for 
manipulation by the ESB runtime. Thus we need to go with an extracted 
WAR distribution. What we have done is create a single distribution of 
the ESB that holds the deployable WAR component as well as the other 
files and folders. Since the ESB can run an embedded Tomcat, we ship it 
in a separate folder to support the 'embedded distribution'. If one 
wants to deploy the ESB on an existing Tomcat or other J2EE server, they 
can simply point to the WAR module and deploy.
