Java system properties are different from environment variables as you
probably know. If you look at your start up script (tomcat.sh) you will see
that the command is executed with a -Dtomcat.home=${TOMCAT_HOME}. The -D
parameter is how you set environment properties for Java at run time. If
you use System.getProperty("tomcat.home") you should get what you are
looking for.

Subject: Accessing environment variables
I have a question which is somewhat off topic...
Is there a way to access my environment varibables(ex. TOMCAT_HOME) from my
servlets running in tomcat? I just need to somehow return the path to
TOMCAT_HOME. Is there some simple method call that can achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Brandon
