I understand. I think what you are looking for is CATALINA_OPTS and/or JAVA_OPTS. This link below is for Tomcat 4.0, but the concept is still valid. http://books.google.com/books?id=fYygS5Jf6g4C&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=catalina_opts&source=web&ots=FKXI_AtgUl&sig=kyodX_5z9g2CSLGk9AEvXcfor7E also see http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/memory.html These are both for the JVM, you will still have to pass javac command line arguments. One other thing. -In my environment, I run tomcat instances as separate users, via the 'su' command. When I first tried this technique, I was placing environment variables at the top of the startup script, but they were being ignored. I ended up having to place them in $HOME/.bashrc (for example), which now makes perfect sense. I doubt this is the case for you, but I just wanted to point it out, in case your variables weren't being picked up or something. -- brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
