I think you are wrong with the above one. By design it has to be in CATALINA_BASE, it cannot be in CATALINA_HOME. E.g. - org.a.c.startup.HostConfig.addGlobalRedeployResources() assumes that the file is in CATALINA_BASE. - org.a.c.startup.CatalinaBaseConfigurationSource#getResources() loads a file from catalinaBase. > * Some files are required in CATALINA_BASE > - conf/server.xml > - conf/catalina.policy > - conf/web.xml catalina.policy is not needed if you are not running with a SecurotyManager enabled. > Some Exceptions may be Surprising > * Only in CATALINA_HOME > - bin/setclasspath.sh . That is some helper script that should not be customized. When people modify that file it usually means that they have not read the documentation and do not know about setenv.sh. > - endorsed/ (special Java libraries) The path to endorsed directory is settable in setenv.sh. The directory can be anywhere. I have experience of running several Tomcat 7 instances where only some of them had an endorsed directory. And I am sure that you know that it is a technology that does not work with modern versions of Java. > - bin/bootstrap.jar > " > > Is this all correct? > > Am I missing anything? There may be some "last resort" defaults, e.g. I see that a copy of catalina.properties is present in catalina.jar. I also see that CatalinaBaseConfigurationSource#getResources() tries to load a resource from a ClassLoader, but it would be odd to put configuration there. >From the docs I know that a system property "catalina.config" may be used to override the path to the "catalina.properties" file, but I personally have not used that feature and do not know whether it is useful. As documentation for that property is improved in Tomcat 10 vs Tomcat 7, I think there was some discussion. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-10.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Other http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Other I know that path to server.xml may be specified at the command line. See o.a.startup.Catalina#arguments() for "-config". I have not tested whether it works, and I do not see "-config" being documented in RUNNING.txt or elsewhere in the docs.
