--- Comment #10 from Remy Maucherat <r...@apache.org> --- (In reply to Andy Wilkinson from comment #3) > > Tomcat shouldn't be creating directories unless explicitly directed to do > > so. > > That seems a little arbitrary to apply that rule in this case. Tomcat > already creates directories in several places. A few examples from a > non-exhaustive search of the codebase: > > - JspCompilationContext will create the output directory if needed during > JSP compilation [1] > - Tomcat will create the base directory during startup if needed [2] > - StandardContext will create its work directory if needed [3] The examples are misleading: - Per webapp folders will always be automatically created (obviously), this is part of the webapp deployment process - For the last one (the main folder), this is probably a relic of old days and we might not do it right now as it's not actually very useful -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
