There should be one... if there isn't it's a savannah problem. I'll
look into it.

The warpath is like the CLASSPATH. It's a collection of directorties
where war files may be found.

So if you have a file system that looks something like this:


   /
   /usr
      /local
         /share
            /java
              /my-tool.war
              /admin-system.war
              /webmail.war
     /share
        /java
           /somewebapp.war
           /another.war

Then you could specify the following warpath:

   --warpath /usr/local/share/java:/usr/share/java

and you would then be able to specify any one of the above war files.

A complete command line might look like this:


   java gnupaperclips -w /usr/local/share/java:/usr/share/java
                      -d somedirectory
                      my-tool.war somewebapp.war

That command line would:

- cause the default context to be "somedirectory" whatever that is

- cause the webapp

   /usr/local/share/java/my-tool.war 

  to be loaded and bound to the path /my-tool

- cause the webapp

   /usr/share/java/somewebapp.war

  to be loaded and bound to the path /somewebapp


Here are some things to note:

The -d switch can specify a warfile but it must end with a .war
extension for Paperclips to understand it.

Currently ALL webapps must be unpacked directories with a webapp
structure.

The config file provides a better means of mapping war files.

It's very possible that you have found a bug. Please let me know
exactly what you are doing.
