Deployment

##Overview There are several ways of deploying OLF. In principal all OLF needs is a working Java installation together with a configured Java web server, such as jetty, glassfish or our preferred solution Tomcat. Grails compiles the entire project into a single WAR file. In Tomcat it is sufficient to copy this WAR file into its subfolder webapps, from where the file will automatically be unpacked to run the application.

However, if you don't have access to a server or if you want to play with a demo installation for evaluation purposes, you can also deploy OLF to CloudFoundry or use a standalone version of OLF that just depends on a Java installation (the webserver is included).

##Note for Tomcat 7 If you are deploying OLF on a Tomcat 7 installation using the manager application you should be aware that there is a default limit for the maximal size of a WAR file (50 MB). OLF WAR files however can be larger than that, so you should locate the config file of the manager application:

/your/path/to/tomcat/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml

and increase the corresponding limit:

<multipart-config>
<max-file-size>104857600</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>104857600</max-request-size>
<file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
</multipart-config>
