Now that I think about it, this is probably a classpath issue. Nice to have when it works, but a royal pain the rest of the time.

Assuming a relative path in a case like this makes about as much sense as using relative branching in non-relocatable code. I've wasted hours trying to get rid of errors in catalina.2016-06-21.log, and after I got fed up with the ridiculous assumption that the directory within Tomcat would also be accessed by the web services developed in an entirely separate directory hierarchy, that's when I decided to cut out the asinine duplication once and for all and define one central absolute path. So much for that idea. It's complaining tha /home/iaadmin/IA/apache-tomcat-8.0.24/~/out/servicetlsstore.jks isn't found! (Yes, I also have to deal with the fact that the equivalence of servicetlsstore.jks and ServiceTlsStore.jks in Windows is used so carelessly that converting to Ubuntu is a nightmare.
