Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomcat6

tomcat6 creates both /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ and /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ for some reason. Since the CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat6 the first /usr/share is not used at all and it confused me! Please remove /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ from the tomcat6 package.

default ubuntu page:
"Tomcat6 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat6 and CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcat6, following the rules from /usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz."

from RUNNING.txt.gz:
"When you use $CATALINA_BASE, Tomcat will calculate all relative references for
files in the following directories based on the value of $CATALINA_BASE instead
of $CATALINA_HOME:"

Also, by the way usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/ is inside data.tar.gz in the deb, and the postinst has this weird line:

    cp -r /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/default_root /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT

Could we include as /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT in data.tar.gz and leave off /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/?

I haven't looked at how this happens from upstream, maybe there something I'm missing.

This bug was fixed in the package tomcat6 - 6.0.26-3

---------------
tomcat6 (6.0.26-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Marcus Better ]
  * Apply upstream fix for deadlock in WebappClassLoader. (Closes: #583896)

  [ Thierry Carrez ]
  * debian/tomcat6.{install,postinst}: Do not store the default root webapp
    in /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps as it increases confusion on what this
    directory contains (and its relation with /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps).
    Store it inside /usr/share/tomcat6-root instead (LP: #575303).
