On my test system Tomcat 7 runs with root access, but on my production system
it runs with an unprivileged user on port 9090 and a Nginx works like a proxy
for https. This works fine, but
on the Tomcat runs Jenkins and a project planning system.
My Jenkins installation is configures by a XML file in the /etc/tomcat7
directory with this content:
<Context docBase="/usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war" privileged="true"
allowLinking="true" crossContext="true" autoDeploy="true" >
<Environment name="JENKINS_HOME" value="/home/jenkins/"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</Context>
With the value JENKINS_HOME I can change the data directory of Jenkins.
The project planning system uses only ${user.home}, so I would like to redefine
this environment value for this war only (because the backup system runs over
the /home dir).
I'm working the first time with tomcat but not with java.
Thanks Phil
