Description

Projects like Oozie and Sqoop present some configuration challenges compared to other components because they use Tomcat. Sometimes small tweaks to the configuration or classpath have to be done in a very component-specific way as opposed to tweaking files in /etc/<comp>/conf or /etc/default. In one case, we even have redundant Tomcat deployments for common configurations (Oozie's SSL vs. non-SSL).

If the environment for Tomcat was generated more dynamically, we could avoid this redundancy and could allow common features to be configured in more "standard" ways.
