Hi,

i had exactly the same question and the same situation.

Solaris'es CLASSES in the Prototype file, something like that in RPM would be a great feature!

Should be an feature request!

Contrariwise, I think #2 is an elegant solution, thanks!
I am wondering why the developers of RPM didn't apply the mechanism used by Solaris packaging that allows you to dynamically set file location based on target system environment.

off top of my head i've got 2 methods....
1: Symlinking.  Put the war in a common space, like /usr/share/<app>/app.war and symlink based on the installed app (i don't think this is as pretty and requires potentially ugly logic)
2: Subpackaging.  Do a subpackage for each of the web servers that drops the package in their known directory pathing. (i guess you could argue there is some ugliness to this too)

Hi,

I want to create an RPM that installs some .war file in a web server deploy directory.
My problem is that on the target server there can be a Jboss or Tomcat, and for each the directory where I should put the war file in different.
Is there a way to do this, without coping the file in the %post?

Thanks,
