JVM config for tomcat5.5
Hi,
I wanted to know where java_home is set for Tomcat when it's installed as a
service since I can't find any .bat/.sh files in my tomcat folder. Thanks

Tomcat guys... please pack the the TC.EXE installer with all the script
files as well...
Windows users do eventually want them...
Its a good question....
JAVA_HOME is only used when you run TC from a bat...
On linux it is probably also used by the service.... but every linux will do
its own thing, so you need to ask the dist guys...
But on Windows.... you run TomcatW.exe... you get a nice GUI, you click on
the JAVA tab, and thats where you set stuff...
Notice that it doesnt use JAVA it uses the java C portal called JVM.DLL.....
Thats how you do it...
And then in Netbeans.... the JRE used is neither of the above, its uses the
JRE that you have set on the platform for you projects....
It actually makes it very easy... and its nice being able to start it from
script on one JRE, from the service on another JRE, and from NB on any JRE
you want.
And you have to... because you may use templates in your servlets... and all
is well, but flip the JRE to a lower version, and you get nailed.
... these TC guys are pretty clever dudes ;)

The postscript on my messages is, of course, required by our bloody lawyers. (Similar - sometimes more extensive - messages appear on others' e-mails when sent from corporate accounts or equipment.)
I would interpret "recipient" to mean anyone whom I intended to receive the message - which is everyone on the Tomcat users list or readers of the list archives. Despite the presence of the key clause "MAY CONTAIN ...", I insure that no Unisys private information is ever included in what I say in this or any other public forum.
So you are not receiving it in error, and I don't think there's any concern about hanging onto the information.

Dear Chuck,
I carefully save your postings to this list, as a future source of
wisdom and inspiration.
Except the ones that tell me that I should delete my unofficial Linux
Debian Tomcat package, those I don't. But you repeat them often enough
that they are always on a recent page somewhere.
It just came to my attention however that most of your communications to
the list end with the formula below, so now I am in a quandary. Since
many of these emails are not personally addressed to me, I'm afraid that
by saving your messages, I am somehow putting myself in a legally
questionable situation, which could result in my laptop being
confiscated for discovery, my network being monitored by your employer,
or worse, maybe even lawyers getting involved.
I wonder thus if I should personally delete these messages, but I am
also concerned by the community on this list at large. Should they all
do the same, and should all your messages also be purged from the list
archives ? Obviously, several thousand people cannot all be the
intended recipient. The word recipient is also specifically mentioned in
singular form in the formula below, which also specifically indicates
that the messages should be deleted from ALL computers.
Can you please inform us of the best path to follow ?
Quoted for the sole purpose of illustration :

(Not that people would wonder what to do with this message also. Go
ahead, you can delete it. You just don't have to.)

It's not necessary to have it set during Tomcat installation. It is necessary during Tomcat execution, but this is normally taken care of by the startup scripts or the service wrapper, and need not be done manually.

Hi all,
One more thing I wanted clarification on..Is it necessary that catalina.home
system property is always set for a tomcat install? Cause trying to retrieve
it from within a java class gives me null. But I can also find it being
referenced in many of the config files, so any help on where the value for
that is coming from would be a big help too. Thanks

I think the main issue (which has also been touched in several other
threads recently) is some level of confusion with the Tomcat Windows
Installer, and what one finds oneself with in the Tomcat_install_dir/bin
directory in that case.
Instead of having the "normal" series of startup.sh/bat,
catalina.sh/bat, etc.. files in Tomcat/bin, you only find a
tomcat(x).exe and a tomcat(x)W.exe there, basically.
No trace of an explicit command "$JAVA -jar bootstrap.jar ..." kind of
command, no script with a path to the Java being used etc..
It works very well in terms of running Tomcat as a Windows Service, but
it seems that as soon as people try to add some external things, they
get very confused as to where things are.
One has to dig quite a bit to figure out that this tomcat(x).exe is in
fact an instance of "procrun" (or rather "prunsrv" ?), belonging to the
Apache Commons Daemon module, which does some (relatively unexplained)
wizardry to wrap up a Java from somewhere (also rather unexplained) with
the Tomcat executable and make it act as a Windows Service.
(See http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html)
If one of the experts on the subject were to provide some clearer
explanation of this whole thing, it would be nice.
P.S.
Not to make too fine a point about it, but the above looks to me eerily
similar to the case where users install a "non official" pre-packaged
version of Tomcat under Linux. ;-)

No, a JRE is enough.

Hi Jon-
you'll definitely need the JDK in $JAVA_HOME
and $JDK_HOME/bin to compile the JSPs..

RE: JVM config for tomcat5.5
Posted by Jon Camilleri <ca...@gmail.com>.
Tomcat requires Java (at least SDK; but JDK won't harm) to be installed. On
my machine I usually set:
JAVA_HOME to the installation path for jdk/sdk e.g. /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_07
CATALINA_HOME to the installation path for /usr/apache-tomcat-6.0.16.
Hope this helps.

Re: JVM config for tomcat5.5

Thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to retrieve java.home used by
tomcat using a java program. I could go with sys.getProperty("java.home"),
but the value returned doesn't always have to match with java.home local to
tomcat. So it seems peeking into the registry is the only way forward for
me. But not the best way since I want the program to be OS independent. So,
if there are other suggestions kindly help me with them.
