Re: [LONG] - Tomcat Examples in Geronimo - needed for v1

[Jeff Genender]

Because its not just us that affects this.  Its anyone outside of 
geronimo who uses these jars in the fashion that they are named.  It 
will likely cause them more JIRA issues for why their example wars don't 
work, with the answer being the name of the war is in the URL.  So it 
may be a negative for them.  We to get their input on this before doing it.

Ok...I can do #1, but we have a problem.

I could get the servlet-examples-5.5.12.war and 
jsp-examples-5.5.12.war to the ibiblio repo...but what happens is, 
since we have no deployment plan with them, the default URL will become:

http://localhost:8080/servlet-examples-5.5.12/

and

http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples-5.5.12/

This obviously is an issue and I am not so sure the Tomcat guys would 
be happy with this.  So this may not be a decent solution.


Jeff,

Can you please elaborate?  Why can't we rename the wars after the 
dependencies get pulled in by the build or alternately create simple 
external deployment plans that specify the correct context-root?

Thanks
