[Bug 661452] [NEW] tomcat6-instance-create provides incomplete setup

[Dave Vree]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomcat6-user

The tomcat6-instance-create command creates a local instance of tomcat6
that can be run without root priviledges.  However, the setup provided
is missing several features that the regular tomcat6 system-wide package
provides.

1) The "Catalina" and "localhost" directories are not automatically
created under the "conf" directory.

2) If the tomcat6-docs package is installed the "docs.xml" context
fragment file is not copied over.

3) If the tomcat6-admin package is installed the "manager.xml" and
"host-manager.xml" context fragment files are not copied over.

4) There is not root context installed and the "default-root" context is
also missing entirely from the system.  Therefore no welcome page to
indicate the installation was a success.

The net of all this, is that after installation of tomcat6-user and
associated packages it takes considerable expertise and time to get the
local instance of tomcat to look like a system-wide instance.  The wiki
documentation mentions none of this either.
