Hello Ivan,
Thanks very much for your macrodef, it does the trick.
I only had to add a property definition pointing to my
catalina.home, and then it worked fine.
Am I right that the lines:
> <sysproperty key="catalina.home"
> value="${catalina.home}"/>
are passing my local catalina home to the property
of the same name in bootstrap.jar? (Just trying to
understand what's going on.)
Thanks again, and best wishes,
William BC Crandall
