Just to summarize the background of the issue:
- Prior to Fedora 3.5.0, you were able to run Fedora within Jetty
1) without defining the FEDORA_HOME environment variable
2) only using relative paths to define the fedora.home property in web.xml
(https://github.com/projecthydra/hydra-jetty/blob/master/webapps/fedora/WEB-INF/web.xml#L11)
This allows for a portable Jetty with Fedora inside as well as running multiple
Fedora webapps in a single container.
I've created a branch (fedora3.5.0rc) of hydra-jetty that has Fedora 3.5.0 and
a web.xml that defines three context-params that correspond to the params
defined in tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/fedora.xml.
Instructions for testing hydra-jetty:
a) Ensure you've unset the FEDORA_HOME environment variable if you have it set
(e.g. "export FEDORA_HOME=")
b) Clone hydra-jetty, switch to the fedora3.5.0rc branch and run "java -jar
start.jar". Startup should fail with FileNotFound errors. If you use absolute
paths for the context-param values in
hydra-jetty/webapps/fedora/WEB-INF/web.xml, Fedora should start correctly.
