Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
Tomcat has a feature where if a WAR file is copied to the webapps
directory then it can automatically expand the WAR and start the
application. Out of the box this is not working for the tomcat6 package
because the tomcat6 group does not have write permissions to the webapps
directory.
Workaround/Fix:
sudo chmod g+w /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a valid WAR file which includes META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
2. Copy it to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
Expected results:
The WAR file will be expanded in the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps directory. (i.e.
if the file was ROOT.war then there will be a ROOT directory with the expanded
contents of the WAR file).
Actual results:
