1. Are you sure, that you are using JAVA_OPTS ?
That behavior that you describe would be observed if CATALINA_OPTS
were used instead of them.
>From the source
Bootstrap.main() calls daemon.init(); (thus Bootstrap.init()) on the
first lines of it.
The init() method calls initClassLoaders(); which calls
createClassLoader() which accesses CatalinaProperties. At this point
CatalinaProperties should have already been configured
(CatalinaProperties calls loadProperties() in its static initializer
block).
So, I do not see how it can avoid reading your custom catalina.properties.
Note, that if the file URL pointed by -Dcatalina.config is unreadable,
no error message is printed. (I think that is a bug, though a minor
one).
I tried to reproduce your use case and it is working for me in 6.0.20
on Windows.
Try echoing the actual command that launches the JVM in catalina.sh file.
2. It is also possible to run
catalina.sh start -config pathToServer.xml
E.g, the following commands are working in 6.0.20:
catalina.bat start -config conf/server2.xml
catalina.bat stop -config conf/server2.xml
