I agree that having a /var/lib/tomcat6/lib directory that is just ignored is very confusing.
However I would not change Tomcat behavior from upstream design and make it consider two directories when looking for libraries. Not only would that involve some heavy patch into bootstrap.jar, it would also introduce a change in how Tomcat usually works. I'd rather fix the confusion by removing /var/lib/tomcat6/lib and also the lib subdirectory in instances created by tomcat6-instance-create. ** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: New => Triaged -- Tomcat 6 does not respect CATALINA_BASE/lib https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
