Use case for adding configurable behavior for unpacking WARs deployed outside the Host's appBase?

2011-10-20 Thread Jason Pringle
We finally tracked down why a 3rd party application we use stopped working as of our upgrade to 7.0.14 (and subsequent) - it was the fix applied to 7.0.12 which stopped unpacking WARs that were deployed from an appBase outside that of the container. It presented itself in an odd way, which is w

Defect in parsing connectionProperties in a Resource declaration?

2011-08-04 Thread Jason Pringle
code in tomcat that initially parses the resource (in GlobalResources) and then instantiates the resources (I assume the actual instantiation is via org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory, but don't know the code path leading towards that invocation). We're seeing this on Tomcat 7.0.

Is it possible for a web application to populate the global JNDI namespace?

2011-02-02 Thread Jason Pringle
Can a web application populate the global JNDI namespace? I am looking for a possible workaround to create shared connection pools without modifying server.xml (ie placing entries in ). If a web application could populate into the global namespace, then I could devise a WAR which defined the d
