Re: Using Environment Variables within context.xml - Tomcat 8 Source 2 Image

[Louis Santillan]

David,

Try adding `env.` to your variables (e.g. `${env.MAPPING_JNDI}`) [0].  You
can also verify that the vars are set the way you expect using `oc rsh ...`
or `oc debug ...` (in the case of a failed pod).

Using Environment Variables within context.xml - Tomcat 8 Source 2 Image

[David Gibson]

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to achieve the following:
We have created a Geoserver web app using the Tomcat 8 source to image file, 
however we require this app to connect to 3 external databases to retrieve the 
spatial data.
To build our application we are using the Jenkins S2I and have created a build 
pipeline that will build, deploy and promote the application through various 
stages eg dev, test, prod.
Using the Tomcat Source 2 Image the app has been created and the war file gets 
deployed along with the context.xml file specific for the application, which if 
we hardcode all the values in the context.xml file this will work for an 
individual environment.
I have read that it was possible in OS version 2 to substitute the values in 
the context.xml file with environment variable within OS however this does not 
seem to work.
What we have is 
context xml
