[opencms-dev] Running OpenCMS with unpacked war file

The config files and logs are not everything.
There are also:

-Search index files
-Image cache
-JSP repository

The first two could be moved outside the webapp folder like the logs or 
config files (we made some experiments with this issue in general), but 
the problem is the JSP repository.

All JSPs used by OpenCms are stored in the VFS. There, they cannot 
accessed by the servlet container directly. Therefore JSPs are 
automatically written to the JSP repository folder when they are called 
the first time (or are modified), so that the JSPs can be accessed from 
the servlet container.

You would need to find a solution for this before using an unpacked .war 
file.


Kind regards,
Michael
