Bug#341777: Support Mysql for WebApps deployed to Tomcat
Arnaud Vandyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm not sure it's the responsability of JSPWiki to add symlinks in the tomcat5 directory tree. Well, it does so already :) It has to register itself as a webapp and it has to add a policy file. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * ___ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers

Why don't you symlink from /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib/mysql.jar to /usr/share/java/mysql.jar? You would have a dangling symlink if libmysql-java is not installed or removed after some time. Also if you need stuff in your webapps you should put it in or link it from the webapps libs/classes directory to get it picked up. This is also some kind of security problem as common/lib is trusted. Another point is where would you draw the line ? If linking libmysql-java why not also jdbc for postgresql, sapdb, hsqldb ... you can add almost every library to this list.
