David,
Great suggestions. I've actually abandoned the Tomcat 5.5 project and
I've also stopped using all of the Tomcat packages in the repositories.
The Tomcat packages in the repository are completely invalid. If you
download Tomcat from Apache and compare it to the Tomcat from the
repository packages, they contain different JAR files and this causes
major issues with some applications. Tomcat specifically repackages
certain libraries from Apache Commons to avoid naming and version
conflicts. The Tomcat packages from the repositories use the Apache
Commons libraries instead and this is incorrect.
Rather than continue using Tomcat 5.5 and keeping my scripts up to date,
I've written a new set of packages for Tomcat 6 that do a number of
things differently.
- First, they install a correct version of Tomcat that is identical to
the version downloaded from Apache
- Second, it provides a very clean install that makes it much simpler
to update. My previous scripts assumed you were installing the packages
from the repositories and then really moved things around. This caused
major issues with updates.
- Third, the new packages are completely based on multiple instances.
This is much better because it can support a single instance or multiple
instances without any issues.
- I use much more standard locations for everything now.
Here's the thread over at the forums about these new packages:

I'd like to see this packages incorporated into the main repositories
once they are cleaned up some. I love the options you have added to your
new_instance scripts and would welcome your assistance with adding those
to my packages. I much prefer using a separate script for removing
instances to reduce confusion. However, if the script was named
tomcat6_manager.sh or something like that, it would be okay. 2 scripts
still seems better though.
