Hello, I dont believe such battles to be apropriate on a topic where a seemingly new user of DSpace requests help. Obviously, there are many ways to solve this issue.
I guess Hiltons solution is quite a good solution, however I totally disagree with his reasoning. Debian has a rather sensible update system that wont break a thing if used properly. It indicates precisely which changes it found in the conf files it tries to replace and you should know about the changes you have made and why you did so. The apt system lets you edit and merge these changes right in place or provides you with path to work on them later. Debian is made for tailoring it to your needs. The fragment solution looks just as cute. However, I am not completely up to date regarding tomcat Dos and Donts. Tomcat is a beast of utmost configurability which leads part-time users, id est 99,95% of all admins running tomcat to not use any of its powerful features. Tomcat is also an outstanding example of overwhelming documentation which seems typical for the Java world btw. It is hard to pick up the concepts, and as long as you cant get them, you will only scratch the surface. As such, I had plans to switch to a more basic server such as jetty every time I updated my environment, but I never did so far. There were always more important tasks to tackle. Tomcats caching and long startup time make it a particularly bad choice for development. I have to offer a third way. My solution is to edit the build.xml in DSpace to create a directory ROOT instead of xmlui during the last phase of the update process.
