The documentation of tomcat is little bit unclear about it. But still there are two main problems with a proper fix: 1.) Giving write access to /etc/tomcat6 for user tomcat is a security risk, because application would be allowed to change a server configuration. 2.) /etc is not intended for deploying of files, just for static configuration, according FHS. My proposal is create a symlink /etc/tomcat6/Catalina /var/cache/tomcat6/Catalina, so deployed context.xml files will be stored in the same directory as .java and .class files built from JSP. l /etc/tomcat6/Catalina lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-03-16 15:02 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina -> /var/cache/tomcat6/Catalina/ So tomcat will be able to write a files to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
