Yeah, sure. I think the biggest benefit is not having to manually configure all the ports, so it could be an env var in the startup script or some other setting somewhere. JBoss has a sysprop, so I'm used to starting it that way, but if you like another method let me know, I'll open an enhancement request and give it a shot. > Mark > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
