Thanks again Mark I have no access to the source for the webapp. what I was think was that if in catalina.sh the line:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.apache.catalina.webresources" was simply re-ordered to JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.apache.catalina.webresources $JAVA_OPTS " then users could use JAVA_OPTS to set the value. thanks Dave Breeze Linkedin:https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dabreeze On Fri, 20 Jan 2023 at 12:17, Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > > On 20/01/2023 11:18, Dave Breeze wrote: > > Many thanks Mark for the answers - appreciated. > > > > Just to be clear I am running 9.0.71 simply by invoking startup.sh > > (currently testing).
