RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

There is missing symlink in /usr/share/java to /usr/tomcat6/bin/tomcat6-juli.jar. This library is mandatory for some operations (like running jasper JSP precompiler). Without this link one cannot use build-jar-repository command to compose valid classpath (JULI libraries are missing).

Additional info:

Please add this link to the RPM. Its already in Fedora 12 

* Fri Mar 26 2010 Mary Ellen Foster <mefoster(at)gmail.com> 0:6.0.24-2
  - Add maven POMs and metadata
  - Link tomcat6-juli into /usr/share/java/tomcat6

and it should be very easy to backport this into RHEL6.

Additional info: I was testing the version

tomcat6-6.0.24-15.el6.noarch

Btw theres also a broken link log4j in the tomcat6-lib package.

[root@dell-pe700-01 ~]# rpm -ql tomcat6-lib | grep log4j
/usr/share/java/tomcat6/log4j-6.0.24.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat6/log4j.jar

The log4j thing was reported to Fedora and is fixed there. See bug 654660.

In RHEL-6, added link for log4j in libdir, fixed symlink to commons-collection also. Removed the log4j package and replaced with symlink.
