Sean Mackrory updated BIGTOP-939:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-BIGTOP-939.-Make-usage-of-bigtop-tomcat-more-dynamic.patch

So what do you think of this approach? Because I quite like it. As you 
suggested, it uses an alternatives symlink to switch between the "default" 
configuration and the "secure" configuration. Also, there were still some 
configuration files under /usr/lib/oozie/webapps.../WEB-INF, but I've also 
moved that to be stored under /etc and found at runtime under /var.

I will still do a bit more testing and cleanup of this, and probably relocate 
WEB-INF files for other services, but I think what I've done for Oozie 
addresses all of Bruno's concerns, so I wanted to see if there were any other 
thoughts on the approach.

> Projects like Oozie and Sqoop present some configuration challenges compared 
> to other components because they use Tomcat. Sometimes small tweaks to the 
> configuration or classpath have to be done in a very component-specific way 
> as opposed to tweaking files in /etc/<comp>/conf or /etc/default. In one 
> case, we even have redundant Tomcat deployments for common configurations 
> (Oozie's SSL vs.  non-SSL).
> If the environment for Tomcat was generated more dynamically, we could avoid 
> this redundancy and could allow common features to be configured in more 
> "standard" ways.
