The OS doesn't really matter as you are using a Java property.
It should work the same way on windows and Linux.

Hi Konstantin,
That´s exactly what i wanted. But if I used
"System.getProperty("catalina.home")", that is ok for windows and for linux
Tomcat installation or is it only valid for windows?
Thank you very much.

Re: Obtain catalina-home variable
Posted by Konstantin Kolinko <kn...@gmail.com>.
The answer is correct as a direct match to the question, but I would
recommend using the following code instead:
System.getProperty("catalina.home")
System.getProperty("catalina.base")
The catalina.bat / catalina.sh script passes values of CATALINA_*
environment variables as system properties, when launching the JVM,
e.g., citing from one of those files:
-Dcatalina.base="%CATALINA_BASE%" -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%"
When launching Tomcat as service in MS Windows those system properties
are defined directly by the service launcher (see Java Options field
in Java tab in the configuration dialog).

Re: Obtain catalina-home variable
Posted by maux <ma...@wanadoo.es>.
Thanks for your help, Mark.
But one more question, with that method i have to add the CATALINA_HOME
variable to the environment variables, don´t I?
I have seen that when you install Tomcat, if you press twice the icon of
Tomcat that appears on the task bar, there is a variable with the route of
Tomcat, can i catch this variable or do i have to add CATALINA_HOME to the
environment variables of the system?
Thanks a lot.
