[Bug 407904] [NEW] jspwiki binary package: Missing JSPWiki.war file

[Will]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: jspwiki

I am trying to get jspwiki running on my Ubuntu Jaunty (amd64) server but, just like with Hardy (where I
wasted days trying to get jspwiki running but never succeeded), I can only get as far as having Tomcat up and running.  

$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04


WHAT I EXPECTED:
JSPWiki to be up and running after installation, or at the very least, a JSPWiki.war WAR file to exist so I could use that.
i.e. I want something to appear on http://<myhost>/JSPWiki/Install.jsp 

WHAT HAPPENED:
I can only get as far as http://10.187.204.3:8180/manager/html/ as I have no JSPWiki.war file to upload
So, no wiki for me :(


ALL the instructions in the READMEs, docs and on the web say that you need to "drop in" or "upload and deploy" the WAR file, namely JSPWiki.war   Even  /usr/share/doc/jspwiki/README.gz tells you to "extract all files from the war file" but there is no war file anywhere.

The web page:
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/Tomcat#section-Tomcat-SetupMethodForUbuntuDebian
says "Upload JSPWiki.war via the http://localhost:8180/manager/html"
and although I can successfully bring up the page http://localhost:8180/manager/html
I cannot upload the JSPWiki.war file because I don't have one anywhere, no is supplied!

I have hunted high and low for this file and it does not exist anywhere
on my system.

So, I checked the package's filelist and sure enough, JSPWiki.war is NOT
in there.

$ dpkg -L jspwiki | grep JSPWiki
  /usr/share/jspwiki/WEB-INF/lib/JSPWiki.jar
  /etc/tomcat5.5/Catalina/localhost/JSPWiki.xml

The closest is JSPWiki.jar but the upload FAILS if I try that, saying,
"FAIL - File uploaded "JSPWiki.jar" must be a .war"

My jspwiki is version 2.8.0-3

$ apt-cache show jspwiki

Description: WikiWikiWeb clone written in Java
 JSPWiki is a simple WikiWiki clone to be run in a Java servlet container
 (eg. Tomcat).  It keeps all of its formatting in Java Server Pages (JSP)
 files, and uses a custom Java class called 'com.ecyrd.jspwiki.WikiEngine'
 to all interfacing with the Wiki system.

This is driving me nuts and has been for ages (I wish I'd filed a bug last year against hardy now as that was the same)

Please can a JSPWiki.war file be added to the jspwiki package and
installed/deployed by dpkg-reconfigure or something so that people can
be up and running with jspwiki in minutes?

Thanks in advance.
