Hi, thanks for your answer yes autodeploying is just put war file in the appbase dir. It works witout errors if you don't have a context file to be copied in the Catalina dir. but webapp without databases are not very common also you have many cases of webapps with a database connection using a pool, so a context file.
I agree with you about tomcat should not be able to write directly in the /etc/ dir but why not put the catalina dir in the tomcat sand box (/var/lib/tomcat6 if i am right) like it was for the previous release of tomcat (5.5) in the previous release of ubuntu (8.04 lts) - with the config dir in the /usr/share/tomcat5.5 and a link to the /etc/ dir So what should be done for this issue ? -- Tomcat 6 missing directory "Catalina" in /etc/tomcat6 - so impossible to deploy webapp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
