Summary: WebappLoader throws exception if workDir already
exists (when unpackWARs=false)
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: jfrede...@dmotorworks.com
In WebappLoader.setRepositories(), if the war is not unpacked, it tries to
create a directory /WEB-INF/classes inside the workDir. If that directory
already exists, an error is thrown and the webapp does not start.
This is a change from 5.5, which didn't check the return value of
classRepository.mkdirs(). mkdirs() returns false if the directories already
exist. I doubt it was the intention here. Probably the intention was to throw
an exception if the directory could not be created, rather than if it already
existed.
