--- Comment #5 from Eugène Adell <eugene.ad...@gmail.com> --- Your quoting is OK (confirmed in https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html although the unix equivalent webpage doesn't mention this). I'm not convinced Tomcat is guilty of anything here. Probably it fails starting because the application is unable to run with an incomplete parameter, and there are several workarounds for no-globbing. It's the normal behaviour of shells to expand variables. Another workaround is reading a property file, maybe that's what people are doing when facing this issue, I don't know. --Also I couldn't see any discussion about globing in the Tomcat documentation or comments so perhaps a sentence could be added? Thanks, it's true :) The different variables are explained in the RUNNING.txt file, we could add a note there but I'm scared very few people read that. -- 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
