Bug Description

Binary package hint: jetty

In /etc/default/jetty you can set the JAVA_OPTIONS. These options override the options in /etc/init.d/jetty.

This works for the majority of the options you pass to the java virtual machine. It doesn't work for -Djava.library.path as in /etc/init.d/jetty we set -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib after we pick up the JAVA_OPTIONS from /etc/default/jetty:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.io.tmpdir=$JETTY_TMP \
 -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib -DSTART=$JETTY_START_CONFIG \
  -Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME -Djetty.logs=$LOGDIR \
  -Djetty.host=$JETTY_HOST -Djetty.port=$JETTY_PORT"

So my change to the library path in /etc/default/jetty never takes effect.

The -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib should probably be in /etc/init.d/jetty in the JAVA_OPTIONS declaration at the top and remove from line ~190.

Hi

Is this bug against jetty in Lucid, Maverick or ... ? If it is Maverick, it might make sense to forward this issue to Debian as well.

Erh, let me rephrase that; if it is not a bug report about the Maverick version of jetty, then we should check if the Maverick/Debian version is affected to and look at fixing those as well (though it might be too late for Maverick and Debian/Squeeze)

I'm running Lucid. I haven't checked Maverick yet. I can spin up a virtual
box image and see if it exists there.

Yeah, it's an issue with Maverick too. I'll try to provide a patch against
Maverick (which should work for Lucid too)
