Tomcat as a windows service
We are upgrading from 5.0 to 5.5. Previously I was using windows env
variables to set the java home and catalina home paths. In version 5.5 do I
still need to use env variables or can I use the Tomcat service
configuration "Java" options?
Thanks

No, you do not need to set those variables. I'm running 5.5, and I
don't set them. I use the Tomcat configuration utility to specify the
location of the JRE and Tomcat.

Microsoft (more specifically the Windows registry) has god rights so any
information entered into Windows registry is considered "system wide" Of
course you can overwrite the SAME ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE locally (e.g.
%CATALINA_HOME%) in your cmd.exe command shell by SET CATALINA_HOME=new_var

Will,
I run Tomcat as a window's service. My understanding is that when you
run Tomcat as a window's service, setting an env var in the Tomcat
service options that also exists as part of windows will supersede the
windows var.
As long as you have it set somewhere before the service needs the var it
doesn't matter where it is set. If you are using multiple java homes,
then it becomes important where it set, otherwise I don't think it
matters,
