Re: Adding a system property?

[Mike McGuinness]

Rich,

You can edit the start script to set system properties for the JVM.

I set the user.dir system property in my $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
script.  I just added the parameter  -Duser.dir=${CATALINA_HOME}/conf to
the $CATALINA_OPTS varaable.
 
Then, in the app I can do this:

String userDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
        
I don't know if this is the proper way, but it works!

    new system property.   What is the trick here?  There is nothing in my
    build.xml file to tell
    tomcat explicitly about this property, but how would I do that?   Where
    can system properties be
    set in tomcat?
    
    To recap
    In build.properties
    metadata.xmlfile=project.xml
    
    In build.xml
    <property name="metadata.path"
    value="${catalina.home}/webapps/${app.name}/${metadata.xmlfile}"/>
    
    Thanks, Rich
