Paul McMahan commented on GERONIMO-2964:
----------------------------------------

Too bad this fell off the radar for 2.0, it's a useful patch.  I would also like to see this in 2.0.x but don't know if a schema change is OK in that branch.  Could backwards compatibility be affected?

> In Tomcat, a work directory can be specified for a web application in a WEB-INF/context.xml file.  The GeronimoStandardContext does not permit the user to specify a work directory, and so the work directory defaults to var/catalina/work/<web-app>.
> I've submitted a patch file that modifies the geronimo-tomcat-1.2 schema to permit the user to optionally specify a work directory.  This work directory is then propagated into the TomcatContext.  I've tested this and it seems to work well.
