[Bug 1308284] [NEW] catalina.properties points to wrong location for shared libraries and classes

[Lucas Madar]

Public bug reported:

By default, catalina.home points to /usr/share/tomcat7 and catalina.base
points to /var/lib/tomcat7.

catalina.properties sets classloader paths:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/*.jar
server.loader=${catalina.home}/server/classes,${catalina.home}/server/*.jar
shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/*.jar

However, the directory structure of shared/, shared/classes/, server/,
server/classes/, common/ and common/classes/ all exist under
/var/lib/tomcat7 (catalina.base), not /usr/share/tomcat7
(catalina.home).

Thus, any files placed into these directories are ignored.
