'uname -a' is another possibility.

No, his method (conf/Catalina/[engineName]/${contextName}.xml is the
one I use all the time. It works well, and I can install the app
wherever I like, and don't have to reinstall the whole thing every
time I need to tweak a context parameter.

or ${contextName}.xml where, again, it's much more accessible for
tweaking. Either one is better than hacking server.xml, though,
unless the data source is meant to be used by every app.

This I can agree with. They don't allow application managers access
to Tomcat's config., but anyone can drop stuff into /etc/init.d,
whence it will run as root? Really? Something is not right here.
That init script would need to start Yet Another Tomcat Instance. Is
that what IT wants? That has implications for memory demand, port and
address space, and linking among app.s. Maybe the IT guy understands
how Tomcat works, but I think I would explore the possibility that he
doesn't.
