Guru, I need to do this so that I can deliver the application following my company's standard format. The tomcat application is just a small part of what is being delivered and we like to put all configuration information in a standard place for all apps. [please don't ask for any more explanation that this just accept the fact that I need to do it] *8-)
BTW: I have just gone ahead and modified the Catalina.sh (I would rather have some other way but at least it works...).
