www-servers/tomcat-6.0.26 After install, /etc/conf.d/tomcat-6 contains the line "CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat-6/". Deploy an app using its .war file via the Tomcat Manager; completes but does not start. Look in /var/lib/tomcat-6/webapps and the war file and the top of the app's tree is there as expected. However, /var/log/tomcat-6/catalina.out says Apr 28, 2010 3:16:33 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext resourcesStart SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /usr/share/tomcat-6/webapps/myapp does not exist or is not a readable directory What I'm working on is by no means guaranteed to work mostly because it's being migrated from an essentially abandoned Tomcat 5.0 platform, but this problem did *not* happen under the 6.0.20 ebuild. As a temporary workaround, I propose to make a symlink /usr/share/tomcat-6/webapps/myapp to /var/lib/tomcat-6/webapps/myapp or perhaps even /usr/share/tomcat-6 to /var/lib/tomcat-6. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Tomcat 6.0.26 via Portage 2.Deploy WAR file via Tomcat Manager 3.Note app doesn't start; see errors in catalina.out Expected Results: App should have at least started and its index page should have been browseable even if the datasource configuration was all broken. This is how it was under 6.0.20.
