Re: Barracuda 1.2.0 released

Ok, I"ve implemented #2.  #1 would push the problem onto everyone, not just 
the barracudamvc server.  #3 would be a security issue as James points 
out.  So, I just do a filter copy of "sample.discRack.prp" to 
"discRack.prp".  This will not be overwritten once it exists just like the 
behavior of the other sample.* copied files.

The path written for the traceFile property is:
[email protected]@/db/idb/tmp/trace.log

That will make it so the file gets written to 
BarracudaDiscRack/WEB-INF/db/idb/tmp

"tmp" is a directory that is created by idb at runtime.  It should exist by 
the time idb needs to write the trace.log file.  Could someone double check 
that this is the case on their UNIX/Linux system?  Shawn, could you try 
this on barracudamvc?

Note that if you have an existing discRack.prp file, that file won't be 
overwritten.  So, make sure to delete that file and delete the "tmp" 
directory mentioned above to make sure that the runtime creation of that 
directory and the writing of the trace log work ok.  It does on my Win2k 
system.

I just uploaded a new copy of barracuda-discrack-1.2.0.zip to the downloads 
directory, so if you've downoaded that file previously, grab a new copy.
