Directory Structure

The Tomcat directory structure is familiar to most users and if we leverage this it should drastically reduce the learning curve of the server. The following is a slightly modified version of the Tomcat layout and should be familiar enough to Tomcat users:

Name	Description
apps	User application hot deploy directory which is scanned frequently
bin	Shell scripts and executable jars
bin/bootstrap.xml	Defines the initial server environment
bin/lib	Jars automatically added to bootstrap class loader
common	Defines the common class loader (see Class Loader)
common/classes	Loose classes
common/endorsed	Endorsed jars
common/i18n	Resource jars
common/lib/	General jars
conf	Configurations (modules) automatically loaded into the server at startup
logs	Log files
repository	Available artifacts for reference
shared	Defines the shared class loader (see Class Loader)
shared/classes	Loose classes
shared/lib/	General jars
temp	Temp directory used to unpack nested archives
