The thing that currently has me stumped is that it all blows up when I upgrade the Tomcat package. None of the configs have changed. I can update the base OS and it still all works fine. Install Tomcat package, errors. How many different places does Cent try to set Java? I've found server.xml, tomcat5.conf, /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 so far.....any I've missed?
alternatives --display java
The system java could be pointed to a couple different places via the alternatives framework.
Also from what I've gathered is that "rebuild-jar-repository" isn't part of a standard Tomcat install. Is "rebuild-jar-repository" trying to accomplish something special missing in a standard Tomcat install?
No idea. You might also need to double check the permissions for /var/lib/tomcat/* if you had anything special set in there. the updated rpm can change file permissions back to rpm defaults, which might impact certain apps.
