Jboss/Tomcat scratchdir doesn't work

[vanduyns]

I try to specify a custom "work" directory (directory use by tomcat for jsp compilation).

I use this syntax in jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/conf/web.xml

...
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>scratchdir</param-name>
<param-value>/tmp/work</param-value>
</init-param>
...

but it doesn't work.

Any suggestion ?

With JBoss 4.0.2/Tomcat 5.5, you can set it in jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/server.xml:

<Server>
...
 <Engine ...>
 ...
 <Host ... workDir="/tmp/work">
 ...
 </Host>
 </Engine>
</Server>

According to the config docs (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html), this should work for Tomcat 5.0 too.
