Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-939:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for the input [~aprabhakar] - I agree with that idea. This JIRA will also need to pick up where BIGTOP-811 looks to be leaving off. Rather than statically looking inside /var/lib/bigtop for the classpath in catalina.properties, we should include the contents of BIGTOP_CLASSPATH after it is generated.

> Projects like Oozie and Sqoop present some configuration challenges compared to other components because they use Tomcat. Sometimes small tweaks to the configuration or classpath have to be done in a very component-specific way as opposed to tweaking files in /etc/<comp>/conf or /etc/default. In one case, we even have redundant Tomcat deployments for common configurations (Oozie's SSL vs.  non-SSL).
> If the environment for Tomcat was generated more dynamically, we could avoid this redundancy and could allow common features to be configured in more "standard" ways.
