Strange.
I've set up the envieonment variable needed for my app as follows
name="indemand.env" override="true"
type="java.lang.String"
value="c:\tomcat4.1\indemand_env_tomcat.properties"/>
I feel like that means it's set up.
When I run the app, I get the message...
indemand.env system property has not been defined
Environment variables are *not* system properties. Indeed, system properties would not be a good choice for things like this, because they are global to an entire Tomcat installation, while environment variables are specific to a webapp.
What's wrong with this picture? Am I missing something?
How are you trying to retrieve this value? You should be doing something like:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); String value = (String) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/indemand.env");
