Yes. There are three ways. 1. JAVA_OPTS .... you can set your JAVA_OPTS env. variable. The startup includes this. This works, but is a little wierd since you're not really passing "Java" optional startup parameteres.
2. You ~could~ use the "web.xml" file within your webapp, but then you have to worry about conflicts b/w dev, staging, and live. 2. As you thought, doing it via server.xml is a better way, if you have control over it. You can set a context parameter. <Context> <Parameter name="foo" value="bar"/> </Context> -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Dean (Zhun) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 10:29 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: passing environment variables to Tomcat Hi, I'm using Tomcat 4.0.3, we need to pass an environment variable to Tomcat. In essence, we are trying to define the environment variable, i.e.: DEV, QA, PROD, etc. Currently, we do this by modifying the catalina.sh and add this to the runtime command -Dweb.env="$WEB_ENV" \ However, can this be done by modifying the server.xml instead? I don't believe we will have write access to catalina.sh in the future.
