Is there a reason that the patches present in the test tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3~ppa2 were dropped from tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.4? I ask because the Metaboanalyst server war has been broken under the ubuntu tomcat7 and tomcat8 for quire some time and this is widely reported by end users...

HTTP Status 404 - type Status report message description The requested resource is not available. Apache Tomcat/8.0.32 (Ubuntu) Ubuntu users have been forced to resort to a manual installation of glassfish4 which always works. Jack ps Note that I packaged the MetaboAnalyst server for use with tomcat under the fink packaging system on MacOS http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/metaboanalyst3-r.info?revision=1.3&view=markup and it has no issues there when used against the Orcale JDK 1.8 release and tomcat. So there is some Debian/Ubuntu patch or packaging change being made to tomcat which breaks its ability to run the MetaboAnalyst war. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
