Minimal JBoss 5.1.0.GA with Tomcat?

[joffer]

Hi,

I'm hoping to get some good pointers or help on how to get JBoss 5.1.0 run as minimal as possible with only the Tomcat, jdni and logging. I have cloned the "minimal" profile and tried adding jbossweb.sar (from the standard profile) to the deploy and, well, I'm not that good at reading java errors that displays. I want a clean mean minimal appserver with only the few components we need (tomcat, jdni, logging). I guess I need a few modules, and add some config etc?

Anyone?

Instead, start with the 'web' configuration - that is JSP/servlet support plus JCA. Then if you do not need database access, try removing JCA (all files with 'jca' or 'jdbc' in their names.)

I teamed up with one of the developers at work and we started to strip the 'web' profile and got a decent minimal profile.

This is what we've done:

diff -r web-minimal\conf\jboss-service.xml web\conf\jboss-service.xml
