Re: [tomcat 4] bug with catalina home path..sdm

[Sebastien Sahuc <ss...@imediation.com>]

Replacing the current method 'File configFile()' in 
org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina with :

    protected File configFile() {

	File file = new File(configFile);
	if (!file.isAbsolute()) {
	    if (null == System.getProperty("catalina.home") )
	        System.setProperty("catalina.home", (new 
File("")).getAbsolutePath());
	    file = new File(System.getProperty("catalina.home"), configFile);
	}
	return (file);

    }

This will allow you not to set the catalina.home property, but rather use 
the working directory instead. 
The checking of the presence of "catalina.home' environment property 
should be done earlier though...

all the best,

Sebastien
