Description Robert Munteanu 2008-11-19 14:40:09 UTC

/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf states:

# System-wide configuration file for tomcat6 services
# This will be sourced by tomcat6 and any secondary service
# Values will be overridden by service-specific configuration
# files in /etc/sysconfig

but in /usr/bin/dtomcat6 /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf is read again, which overwrites the values read in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 ( which btw are done in the proper order: tomcat6.conf and then sysconfig/tomcat6 ).

This is confusing and unfortunately contradicts the documentation.

Comment 1 Michal Vyskocil 2008-11-24 13:06:24 UTC

You're right. Fixed in Factory, in 11.0 this will be fixed later. Reassigning to me for better maintenance.

Comment 2 Michal Vyskocil 2009-03-17 09:32:35 UTC

The sysconfig adds a mess to tomcat6 configuration and jpackage.org implementation of it is buggy. The /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 will be deprecated and merged by /etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.conf, so tomcat6 will have only one configuration point in SUSE.

Details in bug#471639

Comment 3 Michal Vyskocil 2009-06-08 12:02:52 UTC

For 11.0 and 11.1 I'll just change the comment in tomcat6.conf - the big change as a sysconfig removal is not a good idea in released product:

# System-wide configuration file for tomcat6 services
# This will be sourced by (d)tomcat6 and any secondary service
#
# The /etc/init.d/tomcat6 als read values from /etc/sysconfig,
# so values should be overridden by this configuration

Comment 4 Michal Vyskocil 2009-06-10 14:58:08 UTC

This change will be delivered in 11.0, 11.1 and sle11 with upcomming security update of tomcat.
