[opencms-dev] Module Import / Static Export problem (Win to Linux)

[Joe Desbonnet]

This is not a direct answer to your question, but I should point out
that running Tomcat as root is a bad idea. You must remember that
anyone who has scripting access in OpenCms has full root access by
extension. All you need to do is
<% Runtime.exec("/any/exec/i/want") %>
Joe.
