Creating a production WAR
The standard Orbeon Forms WAR comes with demo apps and forms. For production, you can safely remove some of that from the WAR file.
For most deployments, the following can be removed:
xforms-jsp: demo JSP filesWEB-INF/resources/apps: demo appsWEB-INF/resources/forms/orbeon/controls: some demo forms resourcesWEB-INF/resources/forms/orbeon/dmv-14: some demo forms resourcesorbeon-cli.jarandcommons-cli-1_0.jar: for command-line XPL
Form Builder is packaged as a separate JAR file:
WEB-INF/lib/orbeon-form-builder.jarIf you don't need Form Builder in an installation, you can simply remove that JAR file.
The version of eXist which ships with Orbeon Forms is intended for demo purposes only. If you plan to use eXist, we recommend setting up an external eXist database.
To remove the embedded eXist:
- remove
WEB-INF/lib/exist-*.jar: the embedded eXist implementation and its dependenciesWEB-INF/exist-data: data for the embedded eXist XML database
- in
WEB-INF/web.xml:- remove all
<servlet>,<servlet-mapping>,<filter, and<filter-mapping>which refer to eXist
If you want to point to an external eXist database, set the following property:
<property
as="xs:anyURI"
name="oxf.fr.persistence.exist.uri"
value="$urlToExistRestService"/>
And replace
$urlToExistRestService with the actual URL of the eXist REST service.If you don't need an eXist database at all, in
properties-local.xml, add the following to fully disable the eXist persistence implementation.:<property
as="xs:boolean"
name="oxf.fr.persistence.exist.active"
value="false"/>
xxx 2022-08-10: this is used for:
- /fr/service/persistence/form
- reindex
- reencrypt
Then set a property to select the persistence implementation you are using, for example, for SQL Server:
<property
as="xs:string"
name="oxf.fr.persistence.provider.*.*.*"
value="sqlserver"/>
