[Bug 58596] New: Add Patch Binary -- Running.txt says tomcat is a JAVA application and doesn't use Environment Variables.

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58596

            Bug ID: 58596
           Summary: Add Patch Binary -- Running.txt says tomcat is a JAVA
                    application and doesn't use Environment Variables.
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: vkhrgg@gmail.com

patch for RUNNING.txt

Running.txt(which helps user to guide for running up tomcat) says tomcat is a
JAVA application and doesn't use Environment Variables.

Tomcat always uses CATALINA_HOME as a environment variable.
No matter who is setting this, either explicit or implicit by start up script.
The document says, since it is a JAVA application, it does not use, but JAVA
application does use.
And the next few lines are also misleading according to Bug statement
CATALINA_HOME(required).
So it seems misleading.

Providing a patch for this.

No. Tomcat does not use CATALINA_HOME environment variable.

The launch script (catalina.sh or catalina.bat) uses it.

Tomcat itself uses system property named "catalina.home". The script sets that
property with a -D command argument to java process that runs Tomcat.
