DiskPersistenceListener - use properties in cache.path

Created: 18/Feb/05 05:42 AM Updated: 08/Sep/05 10:32 PM

Component/s:

Listeners

Affects Version/s:

2.1

Fix Version/s:

3.0

Environment:

OSCache use with Tomcat 5.5.7

Description

« Hide

Would it be possible to use such value for cache.path ?
cache.path=${catalina.home}/webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/cache

This would avoir hard-coding the physical path in the webapplication.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Laurent

We should support loading of properties using the servlet context. In the meantime, construct your own props object.

Where can I vote against? OK, there is some use for having an extension like that, but the initial example simply demonstrates how not to write servlet spec conform Apps: There is no cataline.home with most servlet containers :-)

I might need to edit the description of this issue. What I'm proposing is loading the properties from a directory relative to the servlet context (when configured through the web.xml with a listener or something).

We will never token replace ${catalina.home} but we could provide web context relative path support. Although not only is the token a bad example. I would not recommend putting your cache files in your web context either but I'm sure this is the only option in some cases, so let's make that a goal.
