Railo Resin Express

This blog entry relates to a certain request we had in the Railo Google mailing list regarding an express version with Resin instead of Jetty as the basic application server.

I have created a zip file that contains the latest Railo build bundled with Resin 3.1.9 and the client JRE 1.6.013. You can easily start the version by unzipping the following zip file onto any folder on your local drive and execute the start.bat. Please note that the windows firewall might pop up and complains about a new port beeing used for broadcasting. Just accept the warning or otherwise Railo Resin Express won't run.

If you want to restart the version you can just use the radio buttons of the window that popps up. With the quit button you can obviously stop the server.

You can open the readme.html file in order to get instrunctions. Railo Resin Express is configured to run on port 8080. I stripped down the version of Resin not to use any resin-doc.war or PHP or JSP. You can easily add this functionality by editing the files app-default.xml and resin.conf. As usual all comments are welcome.

Update by Todd: This is useful for putting Railo on a USB Stick. When it is installed, you can update the Railo server from .015 to the latest by going to the http://localhost:8080/railo-context/admin/server.cfm - log in and then use "Services > Update" to upgrade.
