1) There seem to be 2 different catalina.properties:
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16-src\jakarta-tomcat-catalina\catalina\src\conf\cata lina.properties shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/li b/*.jar - this winds up in CATALINA_HOME/conf, but when the binary tarball is expanded, the permissions are 600. So, in my case the file does not get read
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16-src\jakarta-tomcat-catalina\catalina\src\share\org \apache\catalina\startup\catalina.properties shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/li b/*.jar - this winds up inside bootstrap.jar. Note this version says catalina.home, instead of catalina.base.
According to http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html the second file is incorrect.
If multiple Tomcat instances are run from the same binary using
the $CATALINA_BASE environment variable, then this classloader
repositories are relative to $CATALINA_BASE rather than $CATALINA_HOME.
Ok.
2) By default, org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaProperties.java looks
for catalina.properties in CATALINA_HOME. Since the user might want to
customize a CATALINA_BASE directory, shouldn't it look in CATALINA_BASE?
No, it's global (and defines where the binaries are).
3) According to org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaProperties.java, the location of catalina.properties can be specified via the catalina.config option. Shouldn't that be documented in the catalina.properties file?
I don't know if this works (it looks like it would, though).
