/usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml requires ${catalina.home}/lib/servlet-api.jar but /usr/share/tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar is not present. This results in the following error. jlecuirot@red ~ $ ant -f /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml Buildfile: /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml Trying to override old definition of datatype resources BUILD FAILED /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml:28: typedef A class needed by class org.apache.jasper.JspC cannot be found: javax/servlet/ServletException using the classloader AntClassLoader[/usr/share/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/tomcat-api.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/tomcat-util.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/jasper.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/jasper-el.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/catalina-ant.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/lib/tomcat-coyote.jar] Total time: 0 seconds /usr/share/tomcat/lib/tomcat-servlet-3.0-api.jar is present and I know there is a servlet "alternative" but it is not creating a necessary symlink. If I manually create a symlink and retry, I get this. jlecuirot@red ~ $ ant -f /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml Buildfile: /usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina-tasks.xml Trying to override old definition of datatype resources BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds I have observed this with tomcat-7.0.47-1.fc20 and tomcat-servlet-3.0-api-7.0.47-1.fc20 but I believe the problem still exists in Rawhide. The following lines from the RPM spec are particularly noteworthy. %{__mv} %{name}/servlet-api.jar %{name}-servlet-%{servletspec}-api.jar %{__ln_s} %{name}-servlet-%{servletspec}-api.jar %{name}-servlet-api.jar
I'am not sure if it can affect something if at the same tomcat shared lib path ( /usr/share/tomcat/lib/ ) there would be both tomcat-servlet-3.0-api.jar and servlet.jar java can consider such situation as package conflict... Maybe the best way would be to patch catalina-tasks.xml
Given that /usr/share/tomcat/lib/tomcat-servlet-3.0-api.jar is a symlink, wouldn't it be better to just rename that to servlet-api.jar as Tomcat expects?
Other libs listed in catalina-tasks.xml also have another names. I think there was some reason to give them other names, not as in upstream.
Well I don't really mind, please do what you think is best.
