Hello, This is reposted from [1] and [2]; the Debian maintainers of the package suggested I ask for advice here.
I am running the Tomcat manager application via a Debian package (tomcat8-admin), which deploys the webapp from /usr/share/tomcat8-admin/manager. We ran into a problem hitting th maximum upload size (configured as the multipart-config element in the HTMLManager servlet block). This is easy to fix if you're willing to edit Debian-packaged files, but this is incorrect: files in /usr/share are owned exclusively by dpkg. Is there a way to override this element from somewhere in tomcat's conf directory (which is symlinked to /etc/tomcat8 in Debian)? Searching for this problem on the web only results in suggestions about editing web.xml directly (eg http://www.giantgeek.com/blog/?p=1000) or about different programming approaches using context parameters (if I understand correctly; I'm not especially familiar with the jargon). If it's not possible to override this at the moment, then is this a bug in Tomcat, or the Debian packaging? Of course I could maintain a local version of the Debian package with this overriden, but for such an apparently-obvious piece of configuration that seems wrong too. Thanks, Dominic.
