Radoslav Husar closed MODCLUSTER-528.
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0.0.Alpha1)
Resolution: Rejected
We agreed on the call today that we don't want to keep introducing workarounds for
different building systems.
Other linux distributions do have tomcat7 package and thus this can be easily build
against. Fedora seems to keep following the approach where even containers are kept at one
version in the repo, e.g. in fedora 24 its tomcat8. IIUC this needs to be fixed by
creating a meta package that contains tomcat7 so that modcluster can be build using it.
[~jfclere] can comment more.
Re-think catalina/tomcat dependencies so as it is possible to build
without tomcat7 API

Key: MODCLUSTER-528
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-528
Project: mod_cluster
Issue Type: Enhancement
Affects Versions: 1.3.3.Final
Reporter: Michal Karm Babacek
Assignee: Radoslav Husar
It is not possible (or I'm doing something wrong) to build mod_cluster Tomcat libs
with Tomcat 8-only API.
I hit this problem with RPM build on Fedora where I cannot download random stuff from
maven central and I need to specify dependencies beforehand.
h3. Description
* container/catalina contains calls to API that is deprecated in Tomcat 7 and missing in
Tomcat 8, so I have to apply this patch:
[
MODCLUSTER-528-CatalinaContext.java.patch|https://github.com/Karm/mod_clu...]
before build
* profiles and test dependencies and Servlet API dependencies needs hacks to build
without Tomcat 7 too: see other patches in
[
mod_cluster-fedora-packages/|https://github.com/Karm/mod_cluster-fedora-p...]
h3. Suggestion
* architecture dependencies so as it is possible to build mod_cluster with Tomcat 8 API
only (and Tomcat 7 API only)
* drop Tomcat 6 and JBossWeb from 1.3.x as they are not used in 1.3.x anyway (last use
of Tomcat 6 and JBossWeb is 1.2.x)
h3. Fedora 24 offers only Tomcat 8
...so does it even make sense to offer users Tomcat 7 libs RPM? At the moment, I have it
disabled. Note: Former mod_cluster RPM (1.2.6) hasn't been distributing any usable
tomcat integration; it has been AS7/JBossWeb one.
