      On Solaris, if you try to use `./daemon.sh --tomcat-user your_user start`, it will hit an incorrectly expanded symlink: `commons-daemon.jar -> ../../java/commons-daemon-*.jar`.

      This error originates from the postinstall script's `createsymlink()` `ln` function, as it does not expand the `\*` in `createsymlink "../../java/commons-daemon-*.jar" commons-daemon.jar`.

      To workaround this issue, in `JWS_HOME/share/tomcat<VERSION>/bin` run:
      ----
      ln -sf ../../java/commons-daemon.jar commons-daemon.jar
      ----

      This issue will be fixed in a future release.

      If you try to use ./daemon.sh --tomcat-user your_user start it will hit an incorrectly expanded commons-daemon.jar -> ../../java/commons-daemon-*.jar. The error originated from my patch in JWS-155 where createsymlink() function's ln does not expand * in createsymlink "../../java/commons-daemon-*.jar" commons-daemon.jar.

      Furthermore, fiddling with * is actually completely unnecessary, because ../../java/commons-daemon.jar file exists; it's already a symlink to commons-daemon.jar -> commons-daemon-1.0.15-redhat-1.jar.
