Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|minor |enhancement --- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2011-07-01 18:31:32 UTC --- Java 7 doesn't help since Tomcat 7 must run on Java 6. System.exec calls are incredibly fragile since they rely on correct OS detection. JNI requires a native library which (obviously) needs to be built for every platform and adds a lot of overhead for relatively little benefit. The current fall-back of using the user's home directory isn't great but it is no worse (and may be slightly better) than using java.io.tmp. Forcing basedir to be set and not starting if it isn't set is probably the best option but that is something that probably needs to wait until Tomcat 8 since changing this now is likely to lead to some unpleasant surprises for current users. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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
