This is a valid bug report. It is much too difficult to get a webapp going out-of-the box. The suggestion to "start" by reading the howto only emphasizes the difficulty and is an unreasonable expectation for an Ubuntu distribution. Note that if you go to the Tomcat website and download and install it manually, that you can have a working implementation immediately. There is no reason Ubuntu should be more restrictive than Apache with Tomcat, especially in comparison to say, MySQL, with its empty root password, or the Apache webserver, which also works out-of the box. The current configuration is a barrier to adoption.
Whether or not Tomcat is a reference implementation is irrelevant. Whether or not the security policy is "mission critical" is also irrelevant; that is the responsibility of the person running the app, not Ubuntu. This is an example of free software that needs to be set free. -- Security manager is too restrictive by default. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74784 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
