            Bug ID: 201526
           Summary: devel/oozie: bundled version of tomcat is vulnerable,
                    unnecessary
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any

oozie bundles Tomcat 6.0.41 which is unnecessary and currently a security
vulnerability. You should be able to require www/tomcat6 as a RUN_DEPENDENCY
instead. Tomcat has the ability for different programs to share a single
installation via the use of CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE using something
like this:

CATALINA_HOME=${LOCALBASE}/apache-tomcat-6.0
CATALINA_BASE=${LOCALBASE}/oozie/oozie-server

The CATALINA_HOME should point to the system-installed Tomcat and CATALINA_BASE
is where you want your own private {bin,conf,logs,temp,webapps,work} dirs. (bin
is usually only used if you want to supply a setenv.sh script to override any
ENVs internal to Tomcat)

My initial glance at oozie indicates we should able to easily patch oozied.sh
to handle this.

I do not know how to run or test oozie, but if you would like my assistance I
can help with this if you can do the testing.


Thanks!
