Package: tomcat7
Version: 7.0.63-1~ubuntu14.04.1~c42.ppa1
Severity: important
(The version mentioned above is a no change backport to ubuntu trusty.)
[The bugreport is also valid against tomcat8 ! Please apply the same fix here.]
Please fix the following line in catalina.properties:
WRONG:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/*.jar
CORRECT:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/common/classes,${catalina.base}/common/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
Following problems with the wrong statement:
1. Odering is wrong: catalina.base should overrule catalina.home here (see
class loader howto below).
2. catalina.home is expanded normally to /usr/share/tomcat7, but there is no
common directory - it is below
/var/lib/tomcat7 (as expanded by catalina.base).
3. ${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar are pointing to non existing
directories. I recommend to skip this part.
For reference see
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
The locations searched by this class loader are defined by the common.loader
property in
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties.
The default setting will search the following locations in the order they are
listed:
unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_BASE/lib
JAR files in $CATALINA_BASE/lib
unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
JAR files in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
History of this bug is that in bug #691865 a wrong fix was introduced.
Instead catalina.base (as specified in the bug report) catalina.home was used
for the common.loader.
