Setting system properties for Tomcat as NT service ?
Hi,
I'm running Tomcat 4.1.24 (invoked from IIS) on a Win2K box as a NT
service. It starts OK and seems to execute my classes fine, but my
classes cannot find the system properties I've tried to set.
What I did was (roughly):
* installed Tomcat, instructing it to register as a service
* set CATALINA_OPTS as an environment variable containing my -D... settings
* restarted Tomcat and invoking the servlet
but my environment variables were not found (System.getProperty()
returned null).
I even tried editing catalina.bat just to get some clues, but it just
left me more confused - nothing happened.
Is it so that I should have set CATALINA_OPTS before installing Tomcat,
or what ? If it is - how do I re-register the Tomcat service ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
just to make things clear - the environment variable CATALINA_OPTS is
set properly, but IT IS NOT USED BY TOMCAT ! Could it be that the
service registration caches the startup command (including CATALINA_OPTS) ?

No, that's what I would consider the correct way. If you open up the
command prompt and the variable is available, you know it worked. That's
the only advice I am able to give, as I am not very experienced with
Tomcat yet.

Hi,
I set it through 'my computer->properties->advanced->environment
variables' but since it didn't have any effect it probably wasn't the
right way to go ... or ?
Any hints, anyone ?

Hi,
I set it through 'my computer->properties->advanced->environment
variables' but since it didn't have any effect it probably wasn't the
right way to go ... or ?
Any hints, anyone ?

I didn't need to set CATALINA_OPTS myself, but how did you set the
environment variables? From the command line or right click my
computer->properties->advanced->environment variables ?
