hi Chris, thank you for your prompt response.
I should have clarified in my original email that:
1) I am running Tomcat as a Windows service
You can use CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE as environment variables
before running service.bat to install the service. You can also set
catalina.home and catalina.base properties using tomcatXw.exe (where X
is your Tomcat version).
2) my goal is to have something like this:
C:\Programs\Tomcat-conf <== /conf folder goes here, unchanged with
an upgrade
C:\Programs\Tomcat-bin <== /bin and /lib go here, updated when
there is a new point-release
Change this to:
C:\Tomcats\Tomcat-conf\conf
C:\Tomcats\Apache Tomcat 7.0.50
C:\Tomcats\Apache Tomcat 7.0.51
C:\> SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\Tomcats\Apache Tomcat 7.0.50
C:\> SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\Tomcats\Tomcat-conf
C:\> %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\service.bat [your options]
Now you can start your webapps deployed into
C:\Tomcats\Tomcat-conf\webapps using Tomcat 7.0.50. To switch to
Tomcat 7.0.51:
Step 0: Stop the existing Tomcat service
Then,
C:\> SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\Tomcats\Apache Tomcat 7.0.51
C:\> SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\Tomcats\Tomcat-conf
C:\> %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\service.bat [your options]
Now, restart the service.
you can even define different services to start the same webapps under
different Tomcat versions. (Don't try to start them at the same time,
though, unless you have changed all the port numbers to avoid conflicts).
from the README.txt/advanced that you cited I see that I can use
CATALINA_BASE for the Tomcat-conf folder above, and CATALINA_HOME
for the Tomcat-bin, and specifying the env values when installing
the service, as documented at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html#Multiple_Instances
do you think that this would work for a Windows service setup?
Absolutely, though must admit that I haven't actually done it myself.
