Our company sells a spell checking product for Java J2EE based servers. The spell checker is packaged as a .war file and deploys to the server. A customer of ours is using Lotus Domino 6.5.2 and is inquiring about how to deploy the .war file into their server environment. For servers like Tomcat, it is a simple matter of copying the .war file into a webapps directory. I cannot find any similar instructions for Domino. Could someone please post instructions or a pointer to documentation so I may help out our Domino customer.
Thank you,

Subject: How To Deploy a .WAR file into Domino 6.5.2
Well, let’s start with the fact that Domino is not a J2EE application server; J2EE is available if the licensee is taking advantage of their Websphere Application Server license entitlement, or if they’ve used one of the work-arounds that allows Tomcat to run side-by-side with Domino. Domino 6’s Java environment is J2SE (JDK 1.3.1).
If your customer is using Websphere AS, then your WAR will install normally on WAS, but will take some jiggery-pokery to work with Domino forms. If they’ve got a hacked-together Tomcat environment, then the Tomcat norms would apply (with double-plus jiggery-pokery).

We use Tomcat stand-alone, with this SSO technique.Error
Some advantages to Tomcat: it’s free, and you can choose your own JDK.
