Happy Thursday everybody, I have a question around starting a Tomcat Service Instance on Windows servers. Is there a way to have the Tomcat Startup kick off a script before starting that will clear the contents of the workDir (Clear the cache so to say)?
We have run into some issues after upgrading our binaries to Tomcat 9.0.96 where applications start throwing some unknown method errors when starting. The fix for this was to clear the workDir contents before startup and let Tomcat do it's recompile steps. Note, the app didn't change, but the binaries did. We separate our CATALINA_HOME from our CATALINA_BASE, so app teams just need to restart their instance after the upgrade. Doing this in Linux/Unix/MAC, is easier as we can do this with the setenv.sh script or in the startup or shutdown scripts. However Windows is more difficult as the instance runs as a service. Any help here would be much appreciated. Thank you kindly!
