Wow, I actually did not know that. I feel a bit embarrassed not knowing something that
basic. Did you notice my ApacheCon badge? "Tomcat Newbie". :-)
Then again, why doesn't the service just use the JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME
environment vars? Is that so there can be multiple services running with
different versions of Java simultaneously?
Basically yes. Each service also picks up many other arguments there.
For a complete explanation, I recommend :
