Re: How to get catalina_home variable

[Tim Funk]

System.getProperty("catalina.home") should give you the CATALINA_HOME 
environment variable without doing anything extra special to any startup 
script.

System.getProperty("catalina.base") will give you ... CATALINA_BASE

Howdy,
In your startup script, add a -D argument to java with the value of
Catalina home and whatever name you desire.  Let's say you want
"myCatalinaHome" is the property name.  Then do:
java -DmyCatalinaHome=%CATALINA_HOME%
And it will be available to your programs as
System.getProperty("myCatalinaHome");
That said, I don't like your design at all.  The functioning of your
JSPs (or any other parts of your webapp) should have nothing to do with
where your server is installed.
