In the FHS you shouldn't have executable under /var/xxx. That's why I moved the tomcat.sh in /usr/bin. And there I just couldn't put the startup.sh/shutdown.sh (too generic).

I just installed the RPM, and saw that it *didn't* seem to exhibit the same problems on my machine as it did on the user's that report the problem. I may revisit. It was a very wierd problem - Velocity seemed to work fine when the user was loading templates from files using our 'FileResourceLoader', but when the user switch to loading templates from a jar placed in WEB-INF/lib using the 'ClasspathResourceLoader', which just uses getResourceAsStream() it stopped working. And as I said, the user installed the tgz distro of 3.2.2, moved his webapp over (not rebuild - move), and restarted tomcat, and it worked... I don't know if it was some kind of classpath issue. I have a few comments from the RPM : - would it be possible to add the basic startup/shutdown scripts in a bin/ under /var/tomcat ? The reason I ask is that it might be convenient for people to have available the same scripts uses by other tomcat users, so if someone provides instructions to do something, they can be followed exactly to the letter, which can be important for new or unconfident users. - it automatically overrides things like JAVA_HOME with a new value. I know that it's noted on when the rpm is installed, but its a little presumptive.

RE: RPM for tomcat 3.2.2-1 : any problems reported?
Just a quick recall of build of rpms. There are built under Redhat 6.2 / Redhat 7.1 (validation) - using latest jikes 1.14 - using latest IBM SDK 1.3 (javadoc) - with latest ant 1.3, xerces-j 1.4, xalan-j 2.1.0 I encounter rare problems when building with jikes, at least one with a previous release of TC 4.0 Also my RPM, install the current jaxp.jar and parser.jar. May be fine to switch now to jaxp/crimson or xerces-j ? I've asked sometimes ago on how to build a crimson RPM (ie where to get the latest sources) but I still wait for replies. - Henri Gomez ___[_] EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED](. .)

I tested against the current rpm for 3.2.2-1, and all is fine.Never mind :) I guess I should have emphasized 'seems' in my first sentence below. geir "Geir Magnusson Jr." wrote: > > We just discovered a classloader-related problem with Velocity when used > in Tomcat 3.2.2 that seems to have come from the 3.2.2-1 RPM. > > I have not verified the problem myself.
