We will test the new war file first

The war distribution does not contain the algorithms, that must be downloaded separately.
Problem is, dataminer searches them in WEB-INF/lib only. @lucio.lelii@isti.cnr.it Is it possible to extend the classpath to find them outside the wps webapp directory or at least into a WEB-INF/lib subdirectory?

The first option would be the ideal one, so that we could use subversion to have the algorithms up to date and upgrade dataminer without reinstalling all the algorithms.

adding the file $APP.xml with the following content:

<Context docBase="/home/gcube/tomcat/webapps/$APP"
         reloadable="true">
    <!-- http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html -->
    <Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader"
            virtualClasspath="/path/to/external/directory/with/jars"/>
    <JarScanner scanAllDirectories="true"/>
</Context>

in

CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/$APP.xml

It seems to work, but I need more tests to be sure.

That would be awesome. If the automati jar reloading works, work on https://support.d4science.org/issues/8034 will not needed anymore.

DataMiner 1.6 and GenericWorker 1.8 have been updated and published in d4science.org egi VO.

A note for @nunzioandrea.galante@eng.it: the contextualization script need to manage a new variable: AUTHORIZE_CHILDREN can be true or false. With the current context script, set it to false.
