Bug#614333: how to ship catalina-jmx-remote.jar?

2011-03-23 Thread tony mancill
Thanks for the input - there is now a tomcat6-extras package (for the
time-being it only contains the catalina-jmx-remote.jar).  The packaging
changes have been checked into the SVN repo if anyone would like to go
ahead and build a package.  I'm going to try to accumulate another bug
fix or 2 or before the next upload to Debian unstable.

Thanks,
tony

 Hello Tony,
 
 I think that it would be better to ship everything in a new
 tomcat6-extras package. As this package requires to open the RMI ports
 to be useful remotely, it can pose a security risk, so it's better if
 the user takes the initiative to install it if he really needs it.
 BTW, there are other ways of accessing JMX remotely nowadays, I've found
 Jolokia (http://www.jolokia.org/) to be quite useful, it's pure JSON
 over HTTP.

Hello Tony,

 Hello Marcus and other tomcat6 users,
 
 I have the Debian package building the catalina-jmx-remote.jar and am
 considering how best to package it.  Perhaps the easiest thing would be to let
 the JAR ship with libtomcat6-java and the symlink for tomcat6/lib/ ship with
 tomcat6-common.  An alternative would be to ship the symlink (or the symlink 
 and
 JAR both) in a new tomcat6-extras package.  (This package would include the
 other extras that are don't run afoul of licensing issues.)
 
 Thoughts one way or another on this topic?
 
 Thank you,
 tony
