Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-2964:
-----------------------------------------------
I have attached three patches this time:
1. GERONIMO-2964-2.0.patch: Solves the problem without any constructor or
method changes that come in the way of backward compatibility of plugins and to
be used on branches\2.0
2. GERONIMO-2964-2.0-w-cons-change.patch: Solves the problem without worrying
about anything breaking backward compatibility of plugins as something else
seem to break it anyways and also servlet-examples, jsp-examples plugins from
2.0.1 won't run because of the default-subject in the plan. What other plugins
do I need to worry about?
3. GERONIMO-2964-trunk.patch: It is essentially (2) above but I had to create
a new one coz (2) won't apply neatly on trunk.
Here is what these patches solve.
They provide for a "work-dir" tag in web app plans. If the tag is omitted, the
behaviour is as it currently exists. If the tag is specified (with value
'myworkdir' say), in G/Tomcat, var/catalina/myworkdir will be used as the work
dir for the app and in G/Jetty var/jetty/myworkdir will be used.
What's new from the previous patches:
1. David Jencks objected to using "jetty.home" system property. So, it is no
longer used.
2. David Jencks suggested changing geronimo-web-2.0.xsd and
> Cannot specify the Tomcat work directory for a web application

> In Tomcat, a work directory can be specified for a web application in a
> WEB-INF/context.xml file. The GeronimoStandardContext does not permit the
> user to specify a work directory, and so the work directory defaults to
> var/catalina/work/<web-app>.
> I've submitted a patch file that modifies the geronimo-tomcat-1.2 schema to
> permit the user to optionally specify a work directory. This work directory
> is then propagated into the TomcatContext. I've tested this and it seems to
> work well.
