Thanks for noticing that! I'll pull the 2.0 branch and start working from there, using the same stop - change - commit - tito - rpm - start process. > On 11/11/2013 02:10 PM, Stephen Herr wrote: >> >> Hi Austin, >> >> Assuming that you really are sucessfully building and installing the rpm, >> the only thing that occures to me is that you should restart the tomcat >> service (probably 'tomcat6' or 'tomcat' depending on your setup).

Thanks for the logs, I'm not getting errors in either; however, I think I discovered the reason for that. rpm -qa | grep spacewalk shows that both spacewalk-java-2.0.5-1.el6.noarch *and* -2.1.54-1.git.0.5c89a47.el6.noarch are installed, so the java is probably running out of the 2.0. Thus, my changes aren't doing anything (but I'm also not buggering up the system by trying to install 2.1 on top of it!). Going to remove the 2.1 package, pull the 2.0 down, and give it a shot. Thanks for your help! Updates in a bit as soon as I try it. _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
