We have a web application developed with struts 1 running on tomcat server. Now our clients want an offline version of it running only under windows.
I’d like to collect some advices from you: what’s the best way to have this offline version? develop a new rich client from scratch?(RCP eclipse, RCP netbean, etc?) or try to generate a executable war with embedded jetty sever and embedded db like hsql?
thanks in advance.
I have seen this done successfully as you mention, using and embedded instance of jetty, coupled with and embedded db. Side benefit is it improves your development/testing environment as well since you can start up the whole thing in a unit test in your IDE and debug away 🙂
cheers
