Summary:
Deliver a new Tomcat package SUNWtcat-examples, and allow Tomcat to create
PID file. Minor binding is requested.
Background:
Tomcat in Solaris is delivered via two packages: SUNWtcatu and SUNWtcatr.
SUNWtcatr package contains example web application which serve for demo
and learning purposes. It's not typical to have this web application
running in production environment. There is no other way to
permanently disable it other than to remove the corresponding directory.
Currently, starting Tomcat on Solaris does not create a pid file.
This makes it impossible for future applications, such as Web Stack
Enterprise Manager, to monitor Tomcat in the same manner as they
monitor other servers.
Proposal:
Move example web application and default Tomcat info home page to a
new package SUNWtcat-examples. This would allow the administrator to
add or remove the example applications as required without affecting
the production packages.
The moved directories are located in /var/tomcat6/webapps (declared
as Uncommitted in the previous Tomcat 6 ARC case).
Allow Tomcat to create PID file at standard location: /var/run/tomcat6/pid.
tomcat6 directory is owned by webserverd so that Tomcat can write into it.
Interfaces:
