Hi!
I am trying to deploy my RAP application on a tomcat 6 webserver.
I followed the instructions of the RAP Online Help but I have still a problem with the properties.
The properties I put into vm-arguments in the Launch-Config when launching in Eclipse (e.g. com.xyz.abc.rmi.host=localhost)
cannot be found when I deploy it on the webserver. I already tried to add them to the launch.ini and also to the web.xml but nothing worked so far.

Does somebody know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kerstin,

you can pass the properties when starting tomcat (if you're on Linux,
look at /etc/default/tomcat).

Here are some alternatives:

Hi Stefan, thanks for your advice.

I am not on linux and we also don´t want to use CATALINA_OPTS because more applications should run on that server.

Is there another opportunity for setting the properties so that they are accessible with System.getProperty()?
Using <env-entry> makes a lot of re-implementation necessary.

Hi Kerstin,

you can add system properties in your web.xml like this:

<init-param>
<param-name>commandline</param-name>
<param-value>-Dyour.parameter=value</param-value>
</init-param>

HTH, Ralf
