Clojure webapp deployment - war or jar?

[Si]

Hi,

I’ve just started playing with Pallet, with the initial aim of replacing a single VPS with an EC2 instance. I’m using Pallet 0.8, and have the following crates set up: java, lein, mongodb, runit, app-deploy.

The thing is, whilst it looks like everything works great, up to the deploy phase, my app is actually war based currently (Tomcat)! Why let the lack of a main class ruin the devops fun? ;)

I have some questions if I may. Are there any short term plans to update the Tomcat or Jetty crates? This app might work with an embedded Jetty say, but I have other wars which I’ll need to deploy as-is. Has app-deploy shown itself to be a preferable approach for the common single webapp use case?

Thanks,

Si
