Hi,
According to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat , a lot of work has been done in the Tomcat installation. Providing a way to have many instances is really good but the new init script does not respect anymore the catalina.properties file variables. In the later, by default, for tomcat-6 we have:
| Code: | #
#
# List of comma-separated paths defining the contents of the "common"
# classloader. Prefixes should be used to define what is the repository type.
# Path may be relative to the CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE path or absolute.
# If left as blank,the JVM system loader will be used as Catalina's "common"
# loader.
# Examples:
# "foo": Add this folder as a class repository
# "foo/*.jar": Add all the JARs of the specified folder as class
# repositories
# "foo/bar.jar": Add bar.jar as a class repository
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar |
But in fact, with the new init script, the common classpath is generated from the output of:
| Code: | | CLASSPATH=`java-config --classpath tomcat-6${TOMCAT_EXTRA_JARS:+,${TOMCAT_EXTRA_JARS}}` |
I think this is not good. We need to add many jars and configuration files in the '${catalina.base}/lib' in order to make our application working and the only way I found to do that is to add the following line in the /etc/conf.d/tomat-6 file:
| Code: | | TOMCAT_EXTRA_CLASSPATH="$(ls -d -1 /usr/share/tomcat-6/lib/*.jar |tr '\n' ':')/usr/share/tomcat-6/lib" |
Wouldn't it be good to respect the Tomcat configuration files ?
