Contrariwise, I think #2 is an elegant solution, thanks!
I am wondering why the developers of RPM didn't apply the mechanism used by Solaris packaging that allows you to dynamically set file location based on target system environment.

Subject: Re: Install a file in different locations depending on environment
off top of my head i've got 2 methods....
1: Symlinking. Put the war in a common space, like /usr/share/<app>/app.war and symlink based on the installed app (i don't think this is as pretty and requires potentially ugly logic)
2: Subpackaging. Do a subpackage for each of the web servers that drops the package in their known directory pathing. (i guess you could argue there is some ugliness to this too)

Hi,
I want to create an RPM that installs some .war file in a web server deploy directory.
My problem is that on the target server there can be a Jboss or Tomcat, and for each the directory where I should put the war file in different.
Is there a way to do this, without coping the file in the %post?
Thanks,
