Package: tomcat7
Version: 7.0.63-1~ubuntu14.04.1~c42.ppa1
Severity: important

(The version mentioned above is a no change backport to ubuntu trusty.)

[The bugreport is also valid against tomcat8 ! Please apply the same fix here.]

Please fix the following line in catalina.properties:

WRONG:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/*.jar

CORRECT:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/common/classes,${catalina.base}/common/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar

Following problems with the wrong statement:
1. Odering is wrong: catalina.base should overrule catalina.home here (see 
class loader howto below).
2. catalina.home is expanded normally to /usr/share/tomcat7, but there is no 
common directory - it is below
/var/lib/tomcat7 (as expanded by catalina.base).
3. ${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar are pointing to non existing 
directories.  I recommend to skip this part.

For reference see 
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
> The locations searched by this class loader are defined by the common.loader 
> property in
> $CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties.
> The default setting will search the following locations in the order they are 
> listed:
>
>    unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_BASE/lib
>    JAR files in $CATALINA_BASE/lib
>    unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
>    JAR files in $CATALINA_HOME/lib


History of this bug is that in bug #691865 a wrong fix was introduced.
Instead catalina.base (as specified in the bug report) catalina.home was used 
for the common.loader.
