Installing Embedded JBoss into Standalone Tomcat 5.5

The embedded distribution should come with a little ant script, install-tomcat55.xml, that installs jboss into your standalone Tomcat distribution.  The jboss.dir and tomcat.dir properties are passed in as parameters to identify the location of each distribution. 

ant -f install-tomcat55.xml -Djboss.dir=/home/wburke/downloads/embedded-jboss -Dtomcat.dir=/home/wburke/apache-tomcat-5.5.20

This script is really, really simple:

1. Copy all files and directories under embedded-jboss/bootstrap into tomcat's common/classes directory, except the jndi.properties file

2. Copy all .jar files under embedded-jboss/lib into tomcat's common/lib directory, except jboss-embedded-tomcat-bootstrap.jar

3. Copy jboss-embedded-tomcat-bootstrap.jar into tomcat's server/lib directory

After installation, your tomcat distribution should look something like this:

apache-tomcat-5.5.20/
               common/classes/
                        conf/
                        deploy/
                        deployers/
                        log4j.xml
               common/lib/
                        thirdparty-all.jar
                        hibernate-all.jar
                        jboss-embedded-all.jar
               server/lib/
                        jboss-embedded-tomcat-bootstrap.jar
