Service C code and security manager problem

[Nick Betteridge <n....@syntactics.com>]

I'm trying to set up catalina as a service running as a daemon and
implement the security manager.

I've hit a problem which is that arguments.c in
{catalina_src)/server/native :

a)  doesn't provide for more than 1 '=' sign in a -D property (needed
for -Djava.security.policy==/../../../conf/catalina.policy)

b)  doesn't provide for a null argument to a -D property (needed for
-Djava.security.manager)

Has anyone written a work around for this?

Thanks

I just tried this and I think that it might be OK (in arguments.c) ... 


        } else if (strstr(argv[x],"-verbose")==argv[x]) {
            args->opts[args->onum++]=strdup(argv[x]);

/*        } else if (strcmp(argv[x],"-D")==0) {
            log_error("Parameter -D must be followed by
<name>=<value>");
*/            return(NULL);

        } else if (strstr(argv[x],"-D")==argv[x]) {
            temp=strchr(argv[x],'=');
/*            if (temp==NULL) {
                log_error("Parameter -D must contain one '='
character");
                return(NULL);
            }
*/            if (temp==argv[x]+2) {
                log_error("A property name must be specified before
'='");
                return(NULL);
            }
            args->opts[args->onum++]=strdup(argv[x]);



... It compiles OK but is not an elegant solution!
