Porting OpenNMS to Tomcat5/Tomcat 5.5 has been interesting. I'm still walking through the code and looking at the structure. However I did create a sloppy quick port to make it run under Tomcat 5. OpenNMS for Tomcat I plan to develop a proper patch and work to get it integrated with the sourceline shortly. However what I really want to do is get away from OpenNMS having a custom realm at all. I'd love to migrate the Authentication to the RDBMS and use tomcats native DB authentication. This will require a bit of work however assuming it can be made abstract enough it should facilitate porting to just about any AA system. (A Jetty port would be nice) After that it's time to look at the PM code and consider Hibernate. And finally I want to look at the collector interface to see if I cant cook up a JMX Client Monitor so that appservers and Java 1.5 apps can be monitored and finally write a SQL Server 2000 Monitor. (Blocking procs, etc.)

Three calls from work on Friday and one on Saturday. Hoping this trend continues. Happy Hanukkah.
