Hi,
I've been looking at the makebase script and thinking about potential
use cases.
Currently, we copy conf recursively but create an empty webapps. This is
inconsistent as any directories under conf will (nearly always) be web
application specific config.
I think we should either copy web applications and config or not copy both.
My suggestion is not to copy web applications and config (i.e. sub dirs
of /conf) by default and to add a -webapps option (or similar) to the
makebase script and only copy them when the option is present.
Thoughts?
First of all, I don't like the '-a' approach because you make
assumptions about the target you don't know while other operations don't
do it. I'd simply do "-r".
I do agree with your that it is somewhat inconsistent, but we need to
consider a very important point which must be true for our script to
work properly: CATALINA_HOME has to remain unmodified, i.e., contents of
conf, webapps.
Though, the new CATALINA_BASE needs to be complete to start a Tomcat
instance, and it is complete with an empty webapps/ dir. conf/ is mandatory.
Given that you want to add "--webapps", which will you copy? Manager?
Host Manager? All of them?
