[Bug 577683] Re: tomcat6 directory structure broken

[Thierry Carrez]

Reading the answer to the question would probably have helped you.
FWIW we have been working in the 10.04 cycle with upstream to be both standards-compliant and working, so the collaboration is already in progress.

The tomcat6 packaging is not supposed to be used from /usr/share/tomcat6
by running bin/startup.bin. This is the (shared) location for files used
in common by the tomcat6 and tomcat6-user packages. As described in
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/tomcat.html there are two
ways of using the packages.

Using the system instance (tomcat6 package), it will be started from /etc/init.d/tomcat6 (with CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat6 and CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6)
Using a private instance (tomcat6-user package), use "tomcat6-instance-create my-instance", then my-instance/bin/startup.sh (will start with CATALINA_BASE=my-instance and CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6)

Permissions issues have been workarounded by no longer running with a
SecurityManager (to mimic what the upstream Apache distribution does by
default). If there are anything left, please file a new bug.
