Description Rich Unger 2002-04-25 01:40:34 UTC 
Tomcat expects to find the netbeans/system/httpwork/** 
files in ${netbeans.user}.  The installation code needs to 
be modified to copy the files there, if the module was 
installed as a system-wide module.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2002-05-08 16:02:56 UTC 
Maybe I don't understand, but it seems likely that no special code
should be required for something like this. Use
Repository.getDefault().findResource("httpwork/whatever") to get a
suitable FileObject, and translate with FileUtil.toFile if you need
to. If any such files are fixed and just come with the module, the NBM
format takes care of this. There probably ought to be no "installation
code" at all, and no direct references to ${netbeans.user} or
${netbeans.home}. Ask on nbdev if unsure.
Comment 2 Rich Unger 2002-05-10 20:07:08 UTC 
Agreed.  However, now there is an additional issue.  
Modules which depend on httpserver4 and install .war files 
containing servlets for use by the IDE will copy 
their .war files to netbeans/system/httpwork/webapps.  If 
httpserver4 is installed as a system module, and the new 
module is a user module, tomcat will be unable to find the 
new module's .war file.

Setting target milestone to future.
Comment 6 L Martinek 2004-01-07 13:25:30 UTC 
Will this issue be fixed? Is it even after 2 years valid?
Comment 7 Rich Unger 2004-01-07 19:05:19 UTC 
This is an issue with an experimental httpserver module using tomcat4
that never really got off the ground.
