[lyo-dev] Proposed changes to improve OSLC4J sample app experience

[Michael Fiedler <fiedler.mf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm proposing/working on a set of changes to improve the out of the box experience running the OSLC4J samples and reference implementations and would like any comments or concerns regarding the changes.

Bug 384472 [1] currently captures the overall work and the child bugz.  Please comment there if you would like.

A summary of the proposed changes:

1. Don't require a Tomcat runtime - make Jetty the default and provide OOTB Jetty launches.  But, make sure things still work on Tomcat.

2. Don't require separate app server instances for the sample apps and the OSLC4JRegistry app - let them run in the same app server

A later follow-up to #2 is:

3. Make the OSLC4JRegistry app optional.  It is an interesting concept, but some/most service providers using OSLC4J will not want a separate app for the catalog.
