http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31185 Tomcat service management GUI corrupts configuration Summary: Tomcat service management GUI corrupts configuration Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Native:Packaging AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1) Start up tomcat5w.exe (service manager) 2) Click on startup tab 3) Notice that argument is "start" (or at least, it should be) 4) Click on shutdown tab 5) Notice that argument is "stop" 6) Click OK 7) Run tomcat5w.exe again 8) Click on startup tab 9) Notice that argument magically changed to "stop" (!!) 10) The only way to bring the value back to "start" is to change the argument value to "start", click APPLY and then OK. Clicking OK alone seems to not save the value to disk. So there are two major problems here: 1) Configuration values are being corrupted by the GUI (leads to hours of fun debugging what the heck is going wrong) 2) Clicking OK is not enough to save changes to disk. Apply is meant to be an optional button, not required. I consider this a major bug in the native packaging because it is very easy to corrupt the configuration and then one spends hours trying to figure out what the heck is going wrong with Tomcat. The logging output isn't very helpful either. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
