             Summary: Make usage of bigtop-tomcat more dynamic
                 Key: BIGTOP-939
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-939
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Sean Mackrory
            Assignee: Sean Mackrory


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.
