jetty 隔几天凌晨定时出现404错误（linux /tmp/)

1、问题及缘由分析

最近一个老的应用被部署到jetty后定时出现404错误，

老应用的代码比较糟糕，也出过很多问题，本觉得是程序问题、

查询负载、线程、dump文件、io都没有明显异常，挺奇怪一直没找到缘由

查看了jetty启动是war解压目录/tmp/jetty-0.0.0.0-8100-hrs-web.war-_hrs-any-/webapp

由于在/tmp目录，应该是有问题，linux会清除/tmp目录。

至于/tmp目录多久清除一次，看

 /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

flags=-umc                                                                                                                                                              
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix \
        -x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix \
        -X '/tmp/hsperfdata_*' 720 /tmp
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" 720 /var/tmp
for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do
    if [ -d "$d" ]; then
        /usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -f 720 "$d"
    fi
done

2、解决方法

问题找到了，那如何指定war解压目录? 在网上找到一份详细说明，以下：

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Temporary+Directories

Jetty itself has no temporary directories, but each web application can be assigned a directory into which the war is unpacked, JSPs compiled on-the-fly etc.

The algorithm for determining a webapp's temporary directory location is as follows:

1. Try to use an explicit directory specifically for this webapp:
   • Iff webapp.getTempDirectory() is set, use it. Do NOT delete it on jvm exit.
   • Iff javax.servlet.context.tempdir context attribute is set for this webapp && exists && writeable, then use it. Do NOT delete on jvm exit.
2. Create a directory based on global settings. The new directory will be called "Jetty_"host""port""context""+virtualhost :
   • Iff $(jetty.home)/work exists create the directory there. Do NOT delete on jvm exit. Do NOT delete contents if dir already exists.
   • Iff WEB-INF/work exists create the directory there. Do NOT delete on jvm exit. Do NOT delete contents if dir already exists.
   • Else create dir in $(java.io.tmpdir). Set delete on jvm exit. Delete contents if dir already exists.

It is important to note that a temporary directory will have its contents deleted when the webapp is stopped unless either:

• it is called "work"
• it pre-existed the deployment of the webapp

Once a tempory directory has been allocated, a File instance for it is set and retrievable as the javax.servlet.context.tempdir attribute of the web application.

最后我选择了在$(jetty.home)/work下创建一个统一的work目录，这样最方便部署，jetty 每台机子统一安装就能够。

另外也能够直接经过改变JAVA_OPTIONS指定临时目录：

jetty.sh

#####################################################
# Add jetty properties to Java VM options.
#####################################################
JAVA_OPTIONS+=("-Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME" "-Djava.io.tmpdir=$TMPDIR")
