> Another possible, and very simple, solution is also to include in the
default configuration some system property, that will be simply added to all
ports if the property is set. Or, simply add the property value to all port
numbers if the property exists...
I think that in general we avoid System properties, but for this feature it
might make sense - the reason being that this feature is mostly useful in
environments where there are many different instances of Tomcat, and in those
cases the deployment is scripted.
For example, one of the organizations that I advise has about 200 instances
of Tomcat, all deployed in the same manner, so a script generates all of the
CATALINA_BASE directories, and in that case it's much easier to add a system
property rather than patch server.xml. In fact, the way that I usually address
this is by setting a property and then specifying it server.xml, so that
server.xml can be copied with no changes, e.g.
port="${tomcat.port}"
