Summary: More flexibility in specifying -Dcatalina.config Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.20 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows Vista Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: rsli...@sfu.ca Summary: The catalina.config property (which specifies an alternate location for the information contained in catalina.properties) only understands a full URL. This would be a change in the properties loader to check getCatalinaBase()/configUrl before checking new URL(configUrl). I downloaded the latest source and I'm not sure where this change would be made. o.a.t.util.loader.LoaderProperties (doesn't seem to exist anymore?) or o.a.c.startup.CatalinaProperties If the bug is a go, let me know and I'll submit a patch, thanks! Details: During development, we override log4j.properties with log4j.development.properties by specifying -Dlog4j.properties=log4j.development.properties in our JAVA_OPTS when starting Tomcat. It allows us to use a shared development configuration (shared IDEA project) without having to refer to hardcoded paths. During development, we override settings in server.xml (e.g. shutdown port, http, https ports) by using properties we define in catalina.properties. Currently this means we each have to remember to change the value of -Dcatalina.config=file://... because it only takes a URL. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
