Roller Weblogger and WebSphere.

I've looked through my labor contract recently and found an item on installation weblog system.
I goggled for some blog web application and only one was fit to me - Roller Weblogger . The main idea is to find a solution that integrated with other application infrastructure. Unfortunately, this product mostly build on Tomcat+MySQL. The well known profit of Java application is platform independence. In my case, migration apps is not an easy thing. I solved this problem somehow, in next posts I describe it.
Application platform - WebSphere 5.1 (also checked on 6) with JDK 1.4+ and latest fixpacks. Database - DB2, but I think any RDBMS, supported by Hibernate and Roller will work well. In all case where it possible I use UTF-8 encoding. Some problems appears with Acegi Security, it's hard to integrate Acegi with custom WebSphere security, maybe lately I find a time to do it. That's why I decide to take Roller 2.0.2 build since it's the last one that use web.xml based security.
After a few time I find articles dedicated to my problem by Jeff Chilton.
I was really delighted and inspired by this articles, they helped me in some cases.
