Because JRun 4.0 does not support Java Servlet 2.4 specifications OpenCms 7.x will not run on JRun.
You must use OpenCms 6.2.3 with a series of modifications. The steps I successfully used are below:
1) Deploy OpenCms 6.2.3 binary distribution.
2) Deploy OpenCms 6.2.3 Java 1.4 compatibility module.
3) Replace commons-digester-1.7.x.jar with common-digester-1.8.jar
4) Update org.opencms.workplace.commons.CmsDisplayResource. Replace line "getJsp().getResponse().sendRedirect(url);" with "CmsFlexController.getController(getJsp().getRequest()).getTopResponse().sendRedirect(url);" within the actionShow() method. JRun cannot perform a redirect with the wrapped HttpServletResponse object. Use the OpenCms 6.2.3 source code distribution to rebuild the opencms.jar. **You will notice this when attempting to perform a redirect in any OpenCms JSP templates as well. Use the getController() method of CmsFlexController to get to the top response as shown in the code snippet and you should be fine.
