I am going to ask a quick question along the catalina.base: 1. Does it matter as to the directory structure of where the base is located? The reason that I am asking, is that I am attempting to understand the install that was done by someone else and then more importantly make sure this is working. Oh and at the same time understand the servlet function.
For example: tomcat406 jakara-tomcat-4.0.6 803Base <This is the base> bin common conf lib logs server webapps work -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 10:44 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: CATALINA_BASE in jwsdp I think I have found something to do with it. in jwsdp-shared/bin/launcher.xml there is a line as follows: <sysproperty key="catalina.base" value="${jwsdp.home}"/> This line is surprising to say the least! It seems to be actively ignoring the CATALINA_BASE variable! and in fact if I hard-code the value here with my CATALINA_BASE directory it all starts to work. Now does anyone know what I should put here so that it picks up the CATALINA_BASE environment variable? I tried the following which didn't work: <sysproperty key="catalina.base" value="${CATALINA_BASE}"/> - doesn't work. Lastly does anyone know why this happens in the Java web Services Development Pack unlike the normal Tomcat distribution, which I have read in several places does not have the same problem? There must be a reason, which is worrying me.... Thanks.
