Installing Blojsom in Orion

Written by Joseph Ottinger

Installing blojsom in Orion is very easy. These instructions work, but they're verbose, a lot of work indeed for something really pretty simple. They create a full enterprise application dedicated to blojsom, which isn't a horrible idea but is also unnecessary. I installed Blojsom with the following steps:

1. Download Blojsom, into the Orion applications directory.
2. Modify application.xml, by adding the following tag: <web-module id="blojsom" path="../applications/blojsom.war" />
3. Modify default-web-site.xml, with the following tag: <web-app application="default" name="blojsom" root="/blojsom" />
4. Start Orion.

Going to http://localhost:8080/blojsom/blog/default then pulls up the default blojsom page. (Of course, this presumes you're running the default web site on port 8080 - if you haven't changed the port explicitly, it'll be http://localhost/blojsom/blog/default instead.)
