Re: JVM config for tomcat5.5
Hi all, One more thing I wanted clarification on..Is it necessary that catalina.home system property is always set for a tomcat install? Cause trying to retrieve it from within a java class gives me null. But I can also find it being referenced in many of the config files, so any help on where the value for that is coming from would be a big help too. Thanks awarnier wrote: Markus Schönhaber wrote: Martin Gainty: [...] I think the main issue (which has also been touched in several other threads recently) is some level of confusion with the Tomcat Windows Installer, and what one finds oneself with in the Tomcat_install_dir/bin directory in that case.

(See http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html) If one of the experts on the subject were to provide some clearer explanation of this whole thing, it would be nice. P.S. Not to make too fine a point about it, but the above looks to me eerily similar to the case where users install a non official pre-packaged version of Tomcat under Linux. ;-) - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/JVM-config-for-tomcat5.5-tp19583097p19623781.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's not necessary to have it set during Tomcat installation. It is necessary during Tomcat execution, but this is normally taken care of by the startup scripts or the service wrapper, and need not be done manually. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Tomcat guys... please pack the the TC.EXE installer with all the script files as well... Windows users do eventually want them... Its a good question JAVA_HOME is only used when you run TC from a bat... On linux it is probably also used by the service but every linux will do its own thing, so you need to ask the dist guys... But on Windows you run TomcatW.exe... you get a nice GUI, you click on the JAVA tab, and thats where you set stuff... Notice that it doesnt use JAVA it uses the java C portal called JVM.DLL. Thats how you do it... And then in Netbeans the JRE used is neither of the above, its uses the JRE that you have set on the platform for you projects It actually makes it very easy... and its nice being able to start it from script on one JRE, from the service on another JRE, and from NB on any JRE you want. And you have to... because you may use templates in your servlets... and all is well, but flip the JRE to a lower version, and you get nailed. ... these TC guys are pretty clever dudes ;) --- HARBOR : http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/index.htm The most powerful application server on earth.

Re: JVM config for tomcat5.5
Thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to retrieve java.home used by tomcat using a java program. I could go with sys.getProperty(java.home), but the value returned doesn't always have to match with java.home local to tomcat. So it seems peeking into the registry is the only way forward for me. But not the best way since I want the program to be OS independent. So, if there are other suggestions kindly help me with them.
