Package: tomcat7 Version: 7.0.23-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In tomcat6 (version 6.0.32-7), I was able to place the following XML file in /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost: >>>>> <Context path="/solr" docBase="/usr/opt/solr/apache-solr-3.3.0.war" debug="0" privileged="true" allowLinking="true" crossContext="true"> <!-- make symlinks work in Tomcat --> <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true" /> <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/usr/opt/solr/home/solr" override="true" /> </Context> <<<<< However when trying this with tomcat7 (placing the file in /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost) I receive the error pasted in bellow. If I manually explode the WAR file into a folder, and set that folder as my docBase I do not receive the error and the application behaves as expected. I haven't tweaked anything in /etc/tomcat7 other than as described above (well, I did after I received the error, but not before). I have modified /etc/defaults/tomcat7 to set JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64. I wasn't able to find anything in the upstream release-notes making reference to this, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. The upstream documentation for the Context element seems to state that a WAR file is allowed in this attribute: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Common_Attributes Needing to manually explode WAR files will complicate the automated deployment of web-apps. I don't see any obviously related bugs filed against tomcat 7 in the tomcat project Bugzilla.
