Description Denis Tokarev 2016-03-14 20:58:52 UTC

These instructions are outdated:

 * You will also need to download the mysql-connector from here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
 * and put the contained .jar file into /etc/guacamole/lib!

The correct way to enable mysql support in tomcat is to require dev-java/jdbc-mysql and to edit /etc/conf.d/tomcat-7 :

TOMCAT_EXTRA_JARS="jdbc-mysql"

Thanks for the catches!
I will do these changes in the next few days...
Did you found anything else besides this and bug #577412?

Comment 2 Denis Tokarev 2016-03-16 17:59:03 UTC

No, just these two.

Then again, tomcat on systemd is still missing completely, so these changes to /etc/conf.d/tomcat-7 are irrelevant there.
What I did to support mysql was to edit /usr/share/tomcat-7/bin/catalina.sh
and add jdbc-mysql to 

CLASSPATH=`java-config --classpath ...

Which is probably the wrong way to do that .. :)

This is now finally done. Sorry for the delay...
