Description of problem: jboss ews cartridge should have a shared lib directory to keep user jars Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: jboss ews cartridge should have a share lib directory to keep user jars. At present there is a symlink that points to : lib -> /etc/alternatives/jbossews-2.0/lib where all the jars are stored at node host. so only the jars present in above directory will be available to the user. Expected results: If the user wants his own specific jars there should be a shared lib directory. Additional info: To get user libs into the Tomcat lib directory, you can add onto the container classpath by modifying the `loader` properties in the `~/.openshift/config/catalina.properties` file, to for example load jars from a `${catalina.home}/webapps/lib/` directory. For eg : common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
Though far from ideal, as a workaround users can create their own shared_lib dir (eg under $OPENSHIFT_JBOSSEWS_DIR) and then edit the catalina.properties file to add the new dir to the load path, as mentioned above. However it would be better if we supported a shared_lib dir in the app repo, the contents of which were then copied into a tomcat share lib dir.
