We can create a patch to remove this hardwired thing. If patch requires too many changes then here is a alternative approach which I think can work : * Put the configuration in /etc/tomcat6/conf * Create the symbolic link in /var/tomcat6 directory e.g # ln -s /etc/tomcat6/conf /var/tomcat6/conf
If possible, patching the source code is best choice (and not using symlinks). That's what Web Stack team is doing for integrating apache and php. Regards, Basant.
