Vamsavardhana Reddy updated GERONIMO-2964: ------------------------------------------ Attachment: GERONIMO-2964-combined-new.patch GERONIMO-2964-combined-new.patch: Now that plugin backward compatibility is not an issue, I guess this fix can go into 2.0.2 as well. Here is a patch to allow a "work-dir" tag in web.xml. For G/Jetty, the work-dir is created under var/jetty and for G/Tomcat, the work-dir is created under var/catalina with the specified name. Once again, the patch does not address renaming the schema's to new versions which is to be addressed before committing the patch. I have verified that the patch works on branches\2.0 without any test failures. And the distributiions built address the issue at hand. > Cannot specify the Tomcat work directory for a web application > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-2964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2964 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: Tomcat > Affects Versions: 1.2, 2.0-M5 > Reporter: Aman Nanner > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2, 2.1 > > Attachments: g2964.war, GERONIMO-2964-combined-new.patch, > GERONIMO-2964-combined.patch, GERONIMO-2964.patch, > tomcat-config-workdir.patch, tomcat-workdir.patch > > > In Tomcat, a work directory can be specified for a web application in a > WEB-INF/context.xml file.
