Has the ${JAVA_DIR} JPS manifest property disappeared in the tomcat8?

Question

I am trying to upgrade my Jelastic JPS application manifest file to add tomcat8 instead of tomcat7 to my container. However the upload section below now fails with a message:

File name [${JAVA_LIB}] is in wrong format. File name length must be less than 255 characters.

"upload": [
                {
                    "nodeType": "tomcat8",
                    "sourcePath": "http://widgets.jelastichosting.nl/magnolia/mariadb-java-client-1.1.7.jar",
                    "destPath": "${JAVA_LIB}/mariadb-java-client-1.1.7.jar"
                }
            ],

It seems that the ${JAVA_LIB} property is no longer supported?

If so, is this document anywhere Jelastic people? And also: how do I now upload a JAR to Tomcat's lib folder? I tried ${WEBAPPS}/../lib/ but this also fails..

cheers

Please check Jelastic Docs by the following link http://docs.jelastic.com/packaging-standard-placeholders and you will not find any information about file path placeholders for the Tomcat8 node type.

As a solution please use full path for uploading JAR to Tomcat's lib folder.
