I have searched around and haven't found anything very specific. I know that it should sit outside the war. My application is built on Spring and works under Tomcat. Should the directory location stay within Tomcat /opt/tomcat or can I put it in /var/www/projectname (I prefer the latter)?

Might be over analyzing but I would much rather learn the convention then to create something new. I think by default it puts me in tomcats bin folder.

There's no convention. Choose a location that is accessible. If you control the installation, give that location group/user access permissions and start your process with that user.

  • I figured that was the case since I hadn't really found anything. It seems to make the most sense to keep it within tomcat. Thanks for the quick response! – B Rad Sep 29 '14 at 16:30
