RE: filesystem independent tomcat [OT]

2005-05-02 Thread George Sexton
You could probably do it, but at the end you wouldn't have a servlet engine.

The spec EXPLICITLY states that java.io.tmpdir must be writable. Are you
allowing file uploads? Commons-fileupload uses that area for disk file
upload. Are you creating PDF output? Some packages use  the area for
temporary file space.

 Hi,
 
 I am doing some exploratory work on tomcat and was
 wondering If anyone has felt the need for tomcat which
 can be loaded across the network and doesnt rely on
 the underlying filesystem in anyway including the
 temporary work directory, logging, catalina_home,
 catalina_base etc ?
 
 Is there any such version already out there? If not,
 then does it break any servlet/jsp specs ?
 
 Thanks for your replies.
 
 cheers,
 sandie

It's very difficult to do (our project is doing something related).  One
problem is that the spec allows a servlet to store temp files using the
java.io.File interface, which isn't an easy one to get round.

I have gone thru the code and I may end up doing it.
This will require quite a lot of changes at various
places.In fact, I may end up re-designing some of
components and i was wondering of there is already an
effort to do this. Hence the mail.

Just out of interest, what are your requirements and
why do you want to do this?

cheers,
sanjay
