If you look in /etc/tomcat4 you'll see a tomcat4.conf file that contains various environment settings. This file gets sourced by /etc/init.d/tomcat4, which is used to start Tomcat (at least on Redhat).
I can send you copies of tomcat4 and tomcat4.conf if you like. Ian Ian D.

It's near the bottom of the conf file, right after TOMCAT_USER. HTH, Ian Ian D.

Meissa [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/08/2003 14:43 Veuillez répondre à "Struts Users Mailing List" Pour : "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc : Objet : Re: user local confusion I suspect Tomcat get's the default locale from the Java runtime, which in turn gets it from the operating system it is running on (e.g., on UNIX set LANG=fr (or whatever)).

I have a problem with the Local parameter. I'm using tomcat 4.1.18 and I would like to know where to set the container default locale value. i know this question should be asked to tomcat users. But I have no answer ... if someone knows. thanks in advance Meissa L'integrite de ce message n'etant pas assuree sur internet, Natexis Banques Populaires ne peut etre tenu responsable de son contenu.
