service install myApp then manually run tomcat6w //ES//myApp And under the java tab, manually append to the java options -Denv=uat for example. I think that this can be scripted using tomcat6w, e.g. something like tomcat6w //IS//myApp --JvmOptions -Denv=uat --Startup=auto I wrote the email to just try to ascertain which way is the "most popular/best" way to perform this > > One other thing : it seems that when you talk about "tomcat instances", you > are really talking about nn separate installations of Tomcat, each with its > own top installation directory, and each with its /bin, /lib, etc.. > sub-directories. > Is that how your setup is ? > Or do you have one single Tomcat software directory (%CATALINA_HOME%), > shared by multiple running Tomcat processes (each with its separate > %CATALINA_BASE%) ? > > When I said tomcat instances, I meant single catalina_home with multiple catalina_bases. I can see that this is ambiguous - I don't know if there is a better term that you guys use for this, as opposed to multiple catalina_homes? Thanks Chris
