Is there a way I can use replaceable parameters in an application's xml configuration file and pass a value in on the Tomcat command line. In particular, I would like to set the value of docBase so that I can launch tomcat and have it find my app in different locations without having to edit the xml config file.
For example, in the application config file (say, $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myAppConfig.xml) put something like <Context path="/theAppPath" docBase="${APP_PATH}" ... so that ${APP_PATH} (or whatever the correct syntax is) gets replaced when Tomcat is started with something like $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup ... -DAPP_PATH=/my/app/lives/here ... and have the value for the variable replace the placeholder in the config file. Thanks a lot, Jim Cant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
