bug in catalina.sh
Hello,
I noticed a bug in catalina.sh that make some of us have problem starting
tomcat. The common error is that a message
usage: java org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina [ -config {pathname} ] [
-debug ] [ -nonaming ] { start | stop }
is printed in $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out
I began to look at this problem and I finally found the bug:
The problem is that at every line where catalina is started ("$_RUNJAVA
..."), command line arguments that are passed to the catalina.sh script are
passed using "$_RUNJAVA" <javaargs> <catalinaClass> "$@" <command> (quotes
included) ... The problem : When only one argument is passed to the VM , in
Catalina.main(String args[]), args are { "" , <command> } and not {
<command> } ... ( starting catalina.sh start means starting "java
<javaargs> <class> "" start", not "java <javaargs> <class> start") ...
big problem in Catalina.arguments(String[] args) where the argument ""
(empty string) is not recognised and issues an error on stdout...
I think the problem could be corrected by replacing all "$@" (with quotes)
occurence by $@ (without quotes) in catalina.sh
Are you ok with this or am I missing something??

Fabien,
Since the "$@" is necessary to preserve quoting of arguments with spaces in
them, changing it to $@ is not a really good solution. First off, which Unix
platform are you using? I know that the "$@" works on Solaris and Linux and Mac
OS X.
Also, have you tried using "${@}"? Most platfroms don't require the curly braces
to preserve quoting, but maybe yours does.

Thank you !
I already solved my problem by changing #!/bin/sh by #!/bin/ksh on the top
line of each tomcat scripts.... It appears to be a Tru64 bug which was
discussed in bugzilla on jakarta.apache.org... (I saw this after having
posted my problem)
Thank you for your explanation for the "$@" instead of $@, I did'nt think
of that possible problem... To bad Tru64 is not that standard ( I miss my
Solaris station ;)
