tomcat6-examples stops tomcat6 during installation - auto-deployement should be used instead

[Mathias Gug]

Binary package hint: tomcat6

During tomcat6-examples installation, tomcat6 is stopped then restarted. Could it be possible to deploy examples applications without stopping tomcat6?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Now that autodeployment works, yes ! For applications outside appBase, it's possible to just drop the XML context file into /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost... and Tomcat should notice them in the next 10 seconds. Undeploy works the same. This is valid for all three webapps (-examples, -admin and -docs).

Proposed fix as 6.0.18-0ubuntu5 (posted in bug 300691, waiting for main sponsoring)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]
