Could you help? What way the two different war files can be deployed if they use the same database tables?

Please advise. I cannot proceed to researche broadleaf.

The problem you're running into is probably because the default memory allocation for the JVM is too small. I wouldn't try to run both applications at the same time without giving the JVM at least 1GB of memory.

If you're in Tomcat, create/modify setenv.sh in the bin/ directory (the same directory that catalina.sh is in) and add the following:

export CATALINA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xmx1024M"

This will expand the JVM heap to 1GB and the PermSize (which is what the JVM uses to essentially store classes loaded into memory) to 512MB.

And yes, to answer your question, you should be able to deploy both site and admin in the same Tomcat container.

Also, make sure that in your setenv.sh file you are exporting CATALINA_OPTS rather than JAVA_OPTS. If you give that to JAVA_OPTS then it will not actually make any difference to the Tomcat container (which is what's running out of memory).

Thank you for answer.
But I stil cannot understand how these two separate war files interact?
1) mycompany.war has own persistence context and admin.war has own persistence context. But both persistence contexts uses the same tables. For example the entity from blc_address can be created inside persistence context of mycompany, and the same entity can be created inside persistence context of admin application. They will be in different persistence context but will try to change the state of the same table. Is it correct?

2) when I make the deploy mycompany.war all tables will be dropped and created. The same happens when make the I deploy admin.war, correct?
So what war should be deployed primarily?

So both wars should be deployed if you want to access both the site and admin. The reason they are split into 2 wars is so that you can deploy them on different Tomcat containers and completely different servers if you want. In a high-traffic environment, you will usually have a large number of application servers that only have the mycompany.war application deployed in the single Tomcat instane, while admin.war is deployed on some other server.

That's why there are 2 separate wars. Previously we had a 'combined' war that attempted to merge the resources in-between the admin and site to produce a single war that ran 2 unique servlet contexts but that has been deprecated. If you look at older versions of Broadleaf you can see it still around (it was removed in this commit: https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/De ... 93808a2a54).

Yes.

If you want them to both run on the same Tomcat instance, then you should deploy them both. In the default configuration, the admin starts up with its ddl set to 'none' so it won't do anything (you can see this in development.properties in the admin project). The site starts up with create-drop (in development.properties in the site project) which means it will start up and run all of the import sql files that are located in core. When you shut the application down (stop tomcat) then all the tables will be dropped, and then recreated again on startup.

Thank you for explanation.
I set these settings : export CATALINA_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xmx1024M"
admin.war was deployed, mycompany.war was deployed as well.
This exception occurs while deploying mycompany.war:



The link http://localhost:8080/mycompany/ works
But if I trying to click "Register" link https://localhost:8443/mycompany/regist ... 2738788F76 doesn't work.

The link http://localhost:8080/admin/ works, shows the form for login and password.
I enter admin-admin. The admin dashboard opens.
I click Add Category, fill fields, click Save. An error occurred message appears.
I see this exception in Tomcat console:


I click the "An error occurred" message.
Tomcat console shows:

Try changing to BLC version 3.0.0-BETA3: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1885

I'll be putting out the BETA3 version today.

I changed version to BETA-3.
It was uploaded.
But compilation error occured:



What repositories should be set?

I commented out the method in CartEndpoint class



While deploying exception occured :



But mycompany and admin applications work. I tried to create Product.
Exception occured:



I tried create category. The same exception occured.
