    Description

      Couple of notes of stuff I think are "missing" or misleading on our docs:

      • we document a lot the bundle installation process. I think this might mislead customers into installing the bundle as-is in production (not a good idea, since they then have to remove one of the instances, configure that specific tomcat, etc) - imho we should promote the "war" install more, maybe by having some sort of header in the bundle-install-notes that says this is good for trial, pocs and other test installs, but for production one should consider the "proper" way, installing "just" the war.
      • of course we'd need to expand a little on our "war install" docs.
        • Use "tomcat" not "Tomcat 5". We bundle with Tomcat 5.5 and most ppl use Tomcat 6 in prod.
        • Link to detailed container-specific docs for stuff ppl need to know/understand about their container of choice.
        • Have some (minimal) docu on how to front a tomcat-or-other with Apache. (linking to existing external doc for details rather than reproducing it entirely)
