setenv.sh in an individual tomcat catalina base
Hi guys,
At the moment i have several catalina bases configured with the following
directories,
conf logs server webapps work
The bin, lib and common directories are all still in $CATALINA_HOME.
I now need to add a setenv.sh file in the bin directory but i dont want it
to be used by all the catalina bases. I only want 2 out of the 4 catalina
bases to use the setenv.sh file.
To do this i am thinking of adding a bin directory on the catalina_base/bin
that i want to pick up the setenv.sh file. The bin directory will only
contain the setenv.sh file and nothing else. Everything else will still be
in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ (ie. startup.sh catalina.sh shutdown.sh etc). This
means that some catalina bases will have /bin directories and some wont.
Are there any side effects to doing this? Can tomcat use both
$CATALINA_BASE/bin/ and $CATALINA_HOME/bin during startup?

Hi Ziggy.
Sorry then. I was too lazy to go back to check, and I must have confused your post with
another one.

Hi Andre,
I am using a standard Tomcat installation downloaded from tomcat.apache.org.
I am confused as to how you determined that am using a packaged version of
Tomcat :)

Hi.
As I recall, you are using a packaged version of Tomcat (meaning not the original one from
the tomcat website download, but one already packaged by the people who do such things for
your OS version).
You should then look carefully at what scripts are used to start/stop Tomcat on your
particular system (starting with /etc/init.d/tomcat e.g.), what they invoke and when, to
determine what you can put into CATALINA_HOME/x and CATALINA_BASE/y.
For example, these packages often use a file /etc/default/tomcat that sets some
environment values, which are later used to determine what other scripts do.
What Konstantin indicates below is based on the standard catalina.sh as provided in the
standard Tomcat download, but there is no guarantee that this script has not been modified
(or is even used) in your particular package.

Which 5.5? Most apps that work under 5.5 should enjoy a seamless upgrade
to 6.0. Do you have a plan to upgrade? I would recommend one.

Which scripts were you thinking about? There should be no reason to
duplicate catalina.sh and friends, as they know how to operate under
CATALINA_BASE conditions. Everything else should be configurable. If you
find something that isn't appropriately configurable, please let us know.

I am using Tomcat v5.5
Do you mean that for newer versions of Tomcat, if i want to move some of the
scripts from $CATALINA_HOME/bin to $CATALINA_BASE/bin i will not be able to?
Thanks

i.e. it takes setenv.sh from $CATALINA_BASE if it exists, otherwise
from $CATALINA_HOME.
All the other script files are supposed to remain in $CATALINA_HOME/bin.
I am talking about the latest version of those scripts. I do not know
how old your Tomcat version is. You may look at your catalina.sh for
yourself.
