Donald Woods commented on GERONIMO-2964:
----------------------------------------
The way I verified that the original patch broke backwards compatibility with
Geronimo 2.0.1, was I -
1) integrated the patch into a local 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT build
2) started the Tomcat JEE5 assembly and tried to install the existing
geronimo-jsp-examples and geronimo-servlet-examples plugins from the 2.0.1
release.
When the plugin was being installed, it threw an exception due to the mismatch
in the new and CAR expected TomcatWebAppContext constructor....
> 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.
