I'm not sure if we should really build a war. What's the point of having a war if you have to unpack it anyway? And a zip can contain everything in a toplevel folder, a war not. But if you build a war, it should be ready to run.
So I'd suggest to deliver two packages: 1) a ready-to run war, including all corepages (deliver language corresponding to browser settings), tempdir=javax.servlet.context.tempdir and log into container log. A first time user / evaluator should be successful on the first try after dropping the war into tomcat/webapps or jboss/standalone/deployments b) a zip like the current war, which the user unzips into webapps and configures. I'd also suggest to use org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader (or org.apache.geronimo.system.sharedlib.SharedLib) to have jspwiki.properties outside of the war. Unfortunately for webapp-security you still have to edit web.xml The property for tempdir could be removed, a servlet container provides a javax.servlet.context.tempdir context attribute that points to a temp dir. Also jspwiki.properties should give a hint or best practice where to put the content directory (I have /projects/jspwiki/JSPWiki and /projects/jspwiki/content outside of the appserver tree). What do you think? Juergen
