Bug#764454: jetty8: Wrong jetty.state location

[Frederic Peters]

Package: jetty8
Version: 8.1.16-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

My system has just been upgraded to jetty8, for solr-jetty, and I got errors in
the log files,

2014-10-08 09:59:50.138:WARN:oejuc.FileNoticeLifeCycleListener:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./jetty.state (Permission denied)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:221)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:142)
        at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(FileWriter.java:78)
        [...]

This comes from this jetty-started.xml snippet:

  <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.component.FileNoticeLifeCycleListener">
    <Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.state" default="./jetty.state"/></Arg>
  </New>

I guess it expects its current working directory to be writable, but looking at
the live process its cwd is /usr/share/jetty8 :/

I temporarily changed ./jetty.state to /var/lib/jetty8/jetty.state and the
exception vanished, I'm not sure this is a proper location.
