Re: how to access tomcat conf dir from my webapp

2011-01-25 Thread Stevo Slavić 
String tomcatHomePath = System.getenv(CATALINA_HOME);  // or
CATALINA_BASE, where CATALINA_HOME/CATALINA_BASE is name of
environment variable set to point to tomcat installation home or
instance base
java.io.File tomcatConfDir = new java.io.File(tomcatHomePath, conf);

Stevo.

 Hello, usually i store my custom config files in WEB-INF, but i need now to 
 store a file (a binary file containing a license for my app) inside the 
 tomcat conf dir. Main purpose for this is avoid the need to rebuild a war 
 every time i license a different customer.

 So, in this way, application to be deployed is always the same, and i can 
 send the license file separately that can be read when tomcat starts or app 
 is deployed.

 thanks in advance.

 String tomcatHomePath = System.getenv(CATALINA_HOME);

The above works only when starting Tomcat with .sh/.bat files and only
when CATALINA_BASE does not differ from CATALINA_HOME (see
RUNNING.txt).

The correct alternative would be to use  System.getProperty(catalina.base);
