Shindig can be run with built-in jetty server without problems. But after I deployed the war to Tomcat, there are some problems. I got a blank page when I tried to render a gadget. I searched for the problem, some other guys got this problem as well.

Finally I figured out how to make shindig work on Tomcat.
Why does not it work?
It ignores the context path. In other words, the implementation only considers the situation that the application is deployed as root application.
Two possible Solutions
(1) make shindig war the root application
Two alternative ways:
(*) rename it to ROOT.war and deploy it to tomcat. (The original ROOT application cannot be used)
(*) change conf/context.xml to set shindig application as root application
(2) Modify shindig configuration files <shindig>/java/common/conf/shindig.properties and <shindig>/config/container.js to add context path in all related urls.
It seems to work well. I am not sure whether there is any potential problem.

Did you ever try the OAuth related functionalities after deploying Shindig with an application context root like "/MyApp"?
