Probably Bootrstrap is the best place - since it needs to construct the
classpath to load CatalinaService ( so it needs it ).
If you just include IntrospectionUtil from j-t-c you get it all -
( it is used in jk already ). All you need ( besides build.xml changes )
is:
home= IntrospectionUtils.guessInstall("catalina.home", "catalina.base",
"bootstrap.jar",
"org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService");
That will set catalina.home/catalina.base:
- if only one is set the other will take that value.
- if none is set, it'll look in CLASSPATH for bootstrap.jar and go one
level up, or for org/apache... if classes/ is used - and set catalina.home
fromt that.
You don't need to port it - it is useable directly. ( well, you can
cut&paste the method if you want, it's independent of the rest )
