Public bug reported:
Deploying application through "Deploy directory or WAR file located on server"
in tomcat manager
does not work anymore since 18.04 (it used to work until 16.04 and is working
in regular tomcat)
Context configuration set in "XML Configuration file URL" is not copied
anymore in /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/localhost as it should.
I have created a simple application to illustrate the issue.
- Copy attached hello.zip in /tmp and unzip it
- From tomcat web manager on the same machine
- in "Context Path (required)" put /hello
- in "XML Configuration file URL" set /tmp/hello.xml
- in "WAR or Directory URL" set /tmp/hello.war
Click deploy
Navigate to http://host:8080/hello/hello
In 16.04 you see "Everything is ok", but in 18.04 and 18.10 you see "You should
not be able to read this"
The reason for that is this servlet displays value of an init param that is
overridden through a context configuration. as Since 18.04 context is not
copied anymore, the non-overridden value is displayed.
