Loose end #1 -- tomcat configuration files

[David Jencks]

I now have servers for jetty and for tomcat built using the packaging 
and assembly plugins.  For the second time I've spent 2 days trying to 
figure out why tomcat is broken only to realize that some required 
configuration files are missing.  The server built in modules/assembly 
copies the files from the tomcat module, whereas I have simply included 
them in the geronimo-tomcat-j2ee assembly.  Both of these solutions are 
really unsatisfactory.

How about writing a gbean that copies resources out of its classpath 
and into a specified location (in var)?  This would let us package 
these files in the geronimo-tomcat car so they would be available for 
any tomcat server.  Can anyone see a problem with this approach?

thanks
