Exception while processing a JAR file
------- Additional Comments From emailbillgraham@yahoo.com 2003-11-04 20:36 -------
The requirement that $CATALINA_BASE/temp must exist for temp files came
somewhere between 4.0.3 and 4.1.27. I agree that it's now a necessary
directory for the jdk, and I wasn't advocating deleting $CATALINA_BASE/temp
from the tomcat install, or that it shouldn't be required. My intent was to
show how the poor error messaging would appear if $CATALINA_BASE/temp doesn't
exist.
A more valid test case would involve upgrading an application running on 4.0.3
set up in a way that $CATALINA_BASE != $CATALINA_HOME (a realistic scenario)
to 4.1.27. The upgrade to 4.1.27 will not work without $CATALINA_BASE/temp,
and the user will have no indication why based on the error messaging.
This upgrade scenerio above happened to me, as I'm sure it will happen to
others. It took me a better part of the day to figure out that all that was
needed was to do 'mkdir $CATALINA_BASE/temp'. With better error messaging,
this can be avoided.
