I’m trying to deploy a Rails app as a WAR using Warbler. I have it running in Tomcat 6 and it seems to be running fine. However, all of my PUT and DELETE requests are getting rejected with a 403 (Forbidden).
From what I’ve been able to gather, the default Tomcat install on Debian/Ubuntu has these methods disabled via:
<init-param>
<param-name>readonly</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
I’ve tried setting this to false in my /etc/tomcat6/web.xml but no dice. I wonder if I have to do something similar to the jruby-rack servlet container packaged by Warbler in my WAR? If so, how would I go about this?
If not, why would Tomcat be rejecting all of the PUTs and DELETEs being sent to my Rails app?
Just for extra detail, here is the relevant bug on jruby-rack:

It looks like a fix is in progress at the time of this writing.
