Re: [Exist-open] Docker Tomcat Deployment / BetterFORM Resources

[Christopher J. <chj...@gm...>]

I should qualify that this is only related to Tomcat versions >= 8.  When
using a tomcat 7 docker image like tomcat:7-jre8-alpine, for example, this
issue does not occur.   Is the dist-war build fully compatible with
tomcat8+?

Cheers,
