Package: tomcat7
Version: 7.0.23-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In tomcat6 (version 6.0.32-7), I was able to place the following XML file in
/etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost:
Context path=/solr docBase=/usr/opt/solr/apache-solr-3.3.0.war
debug=0 privileged=true allowLinking=true crossContext=true
!-- make symlinks work in Tomcat --
Resources className=org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext
allowLinking=true /
Environment name=solr/home type=java.lang.String
value=/usr/opt/solr/home/solr override=true /
/Context
However when trying this with tomcat7 (placing the file in
/etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost) I receive the error pasted in bellow.
If I manually explode the WAR file into a folder, and set that folder as my
docBase I do not receive the error and the application behaves as expected.
I haven't tweaked anything in /etc/tomcat7 other than as described above (well,
I did after I received the error, but not before).
I have modified /etc/defaults/tomcat7 to set JAVA_HOME to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64.
I wasn't able to find anything in the upstream release-notes making reference
to this, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
The upstream documentation for the Context element seems to state that a WAR
file is allowed in this attribute:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Common_Attributes
Needing to manually explode WAR files will complicate the automated deployment
of web-apps.
I don't see any obviously related bugs filed against tomcat 7 in the tomcat
project Bugzilla.
