Package: tomcat5
Severity: wishlist
If I have both packages tomcat5 and libmysql-java installed, I'd like to
have the Connector/J driver availble for web applications installed into
Tomcat, just as if I had copied the driver to common/lib. Why don't you
symlink from /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib/mysql.jar to
/usr/share/java/mysql.jar?
You would have a dangling symlink if libmysql-java is not installed
or removed after some time. Also if you need stuff in your webapps you
should put it in or link it from the webapps libs/classes directory to
get it picked up. This is also some kind of security problem as
common/lib is trusted.
Another point is where would you draw the line ? If linking libmysql-java
why not also jdbc for postgresql, sapdb, hsqldb ... you can add almost every
library to this list.
Regards,
Wolfgang
