About the default value of variable JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS

[Laurent Vaills <la...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks to have accepted my patch for the bug
#48976<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48976>.

I have a question about the variable JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS : why the default
value is set to CATALINA_HOME/endorsed ?
I think, like the others variables (CATALINA_OUT, CATALINA_TMPDIR, ...),
that the default value should instead be CATALINA_BASE/endorsed ?
With this default value, only some "instances" of Tomcat can decide to
override some libraries without forcing the other to do the same.

What do you think ?

Laurent

Worth looking at. If you want to take a look at this, please open a new
bugzilla enhancement. Ideally, we'd like patches for trunk and 6.0.x
