can't run two instance of tomcat, because catalina.base keeps getting reset... [message #191453] Fri, 13 April 2007 22:46 Go to next message

Hi,

I am trying to setup a second tomcat instance that runs outside the
workspace.

The first instance works fine; just uncheck "Run modules directly from
the work splace..."

In the second instance, when I tried to set catalina.base from:
launch configuration -> arguments -> VM arguments

-Dcatalina.base="c:\second_instance" this always gets reset to the
tomcat installation directory, e.g. c:\tomcat5.5


I am using eclipse 3.2.2, wst 1.5.3.

thanks for your help,
Gary

In WTP 1.5.3, catalina.base is "owned" by the tomcat plug-ins. It gets
regenerated per the "Run modules directly..." setting each time you
launch. You will have to use WTP 2.0 (and Eclipse 3.3) to get the new
feature of being able to set a custom catalina.base, which is currently
available in the M6 release. See the last item here:

Cheers,
