[OFBiz] Users - error while creating temporary files

[Alexander Heiss]

One reason we were getting 500 errors (unable to compile class..)  from
Jetty was because, by default, Jetty stores these files into java tmp
directory, I think somewhere like /tmp by default.  If the default java temp
directory is used on linux, these files will be remove every so often,
causing the issue.  The workaround for this was to append a new java tmp
directoy using something like:

java -Djava.io.tmpdir="/usr/mytmp" -jar ofbiz.jar

More info on this can be found at
http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/faq?s=200-General&t=tmpdir

You may be able to apply this concept to your issue; let us know if it
works.  Other file redirects can be found in
base/config/ofbiz-components.xml for server request logs and
base/config/debug.properties for java log files.  There is also a console
output directed by the startofbiz.sh file, if you use it.


Thanks,
-Alex
