https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68911 Remy Maucherat changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #11 from Remy Maucherat --- Please do not reopen the BZ. Please use the user mailing list to discuss this further instead. If a problem is found, then it will be addressed just the same. The shell scripts will pass the CATALINA_BASE environment variable as the catalina.base Java system property, which will then be used to setup the paths that are used by CatalinaBaseConfigurationSource. I fail to see a behavior change there. Note: 8.5 to 9.0 is a major version update, so some change of behavior is acceptable, and some configuration updates could be required.

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68911 7elem...@mail.bg changed: What|Removed |Added Status|RESOLVED|REOPENED Resolution|INVALID |--- --- Comment #10 from 7elem...@mail.bg --- I'm sorry, but I don't find it exotic to request CATALINA_BASE to be respected when tomcat initially boots up and not only user.dir to be used to search for server.xml As I said already, all I want is backward compatibility as this was the case until 8.5 On top I don't want to change the logic and break currently released tomcat versions All I want is to add a backward compatible way to search for the configuration, i.e. to search for additional place (CATALINA_BASE) for server.xml as a last resort, before failing and continue with the defaults. I couldn't find a way to change with configuration org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaBaseConfigurationSource to my own ConfigurationSource and that is the reason for this request.

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68911 Remy Maucherat changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #9 from Remy Maucherat --- ConfigurationSource.DEFAULT is a very bare bones default that is not part of Catalina. Catalina is the component that uses the CATALINA_BASE env variable (as the name implies). The ConfigurationSource implementation that implements this behavior is org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaBaseConfigurationSource which should be properly setup by the Catalina startup. If you are using some exotic environment, then you need to either setup Catalina properly or implement a ConfigurationSource that works for your environment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org

User on the system can start it's own process and point to his configuration folder by using CATALINA_BASE. For example On linux: /var/lib/tomcat for binaries /home/user/.tomcat/conf for server.xml, certificates, global web.xml, global context.xml /home/user/.tomcat/workspace for webapps, work, etc. I can point to those via server.xml using appBase and workDir On Windows: C:\Program Files\tomcat for binaries C:\Users\user\tomcat\conf for server.xml, certificates, global web.xml, global context.xml C:\Users\user\workspace for webapps, work.

Start tomcat. Check the result. Do the same with tomcat 9 and you'll understand what I mean. In this case "If you want to override the default, then call (static) ConfigFileLoader.setSource with whatever you want", I don't want to call anything. just to move configuration in different location and set CATALINA_BASE with no coding whatsoever. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org

TOMCAT_HOME has never been an environment variable used by Tomcat. The system property "user.dir" is essentially the same as the CWD of the process when it was started. It's not the same as the user's home directory. The only time "user.dir" is used is if the code initializing Tomcat doesn't give it any specific information about where to load the configuration files from.
