[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-574) Tomcat managed should not require an installed tomcat server

[Aslak Knutsen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12625371#comment-12625371 ] 

Aslak Knutsen commented on ARQ-574:
-----------------------------------

this is not up to the Container impl to handle, see https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-tomcat/blob/master/tomcat-managed-6/pom.xml#L92 for example of how to download and extract a Tomcat instance.

(i don't think tomcat has a zip dist in a Maven repo)

>             Project: Arquillian
>          Issue Type: Enhancement

> When starting up tomcat6-managed, the first SNAPSHOT, I get this:
> {code}
> Either CATALINA_HOME environment variable or catalinaHome property in Arquillian configuration must be set and point to a valid directory! null is not valid directory!
> {code}
> There are 2 problems with this:
> - it's a maintenance hurdle, especially on hudson build slaves
> - the build is not reproducible: the test results depends on the tomcat server version you've installed on your machine.
> Solution:
> Set the tomcat zip as a dependency (so it's in ~/.m2/repository) and unzip it to target and use that server installation.
