http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37035 Summary: Prevent temp\ directory disappearing when tar.gz is used on Windows Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.12 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Unknown AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If a user: - is on Windows - downloads the tar.gz distribution - unpacks with WinZIP then Tomcat breaks in odd ways. This is because the temp\ directory is empty in the distribution, and WinZIP's default behaviour is not to create directories if they are empty. I know this is a combination of WinZIP stupidity and odd user behaviour, but there is an easy way to avoid the problem: add a temp\README.txt file so the directory is non-empty. There was a temp\README.txt in 4.1 days, which read: """ This temp directory is used by the JVM for temporary file storage. The JVM is configured to use this as its java.io.tmpdir in the catalina.sh and catalina.bat scripts. Tomcat is configured to use this temporary directory rather than its default for security reasons. The temp directory must exist for Tomcat to work correctly.
