CATALINA_BASE in jwsdp

[Malcolm Warren <ma...@villeinitalia.com>]

I have a very recent Java Web Services installation and Tomcat 5 is 
bundled with it.
I have a problem that I see has been met with by others using jwsdp, and 
not solved.

I would like to be able to run multiple Tomcat instances.
So I have tried to create a new directory for my web applications and I 
try to start tomcat 5 using the CATALINA_BASE environment variable. 
Unfortunately jwsdp completely ignores CATALINA_BASE. I see that others 
have only been able to solve the problem by downloading Tomcat separately, 
and the problem has gone away.

Does anyone know what to do about this? I'd like to stay with Tomcat 
inside Java Web Services.

The script in catalina.sh calls jwsdp. Does anyone know who maintains 
jwsdp? I've sent an email to Sun, but is there anyone at Jakarta who can 
be contacted? As far as I know jakarta has nothing to do with it, but you 
never know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Malcolm Warren

I think I have found something to do with it.

in jwsdp-shared/bin/launcher.xml there is a line as follows:
<sysproperty key="catalina.base" value="${jwsdp.home}"/>

This line is surprising to say the least! It seems to be actively ignoring 
the CATALINA_BASE variable!

and in fact if I hard-code the value here with my CATALINA_BASE directory 
it all starts to work.
Now does anyone know what I should put here so that it picks up the 
CATALINA_BASE environment variable?
I tried the following which didn't work:

<sysproperty key="catalina.base" value="${CATALINA_BASE}"/> - doesn't work.

Lastly does anyone know why this happens in the Java web Services 
Development Pack unlike the normal Tomcat distribution, which I have read 
in several places does not have the same problem? There must be a reason, 
which is worrying me....

Thanks.

Thanks to anyone who read this email.
But I've found a hack - or anyway I may just abandon JavaWebServices and 
go for Tomcat on its own.
So don't worry about replying to this problem any more.
