I have a wrapper startup script that changes the value of CATALINA_BASE before it calls the startup.sh script. Just have the right directories and files created in your CATALINA_BASE directory before you call startup.sh.
There are a couple of problems with this that I've found. You have a lot of java processes running and if one of them is going haywire, you don't have a way of knowing which server instance is bad since they all show up as java in the ps -ef output. I'm trying to solve this by having a java_server1, java_server2 etc. binaries, but am having some difficulties with that. Also, I've found that if you start more than just a couple of instances simultaneously, they all fail. I have about 10 servers that get started in a boot script that don't start correctly if you try and start all of them at the same time (at least very quickly one after the other). I have to put a sleep between each startup call to get them to start correctly.
