Sometimes you need to pass system variables to applications running in tomcat environment. those could b for example configuration files.
Trying to pass them to start-up script as variables such as
export TOMCAT_OPTS=-Your.var=foo
will set it in the system shell and will not pass it to the tomcat on it`s start since it runs as a different user.
Java`s System.getEnv("Your.var")
Will return: NULL value.
You need to edit relevant tomcat.conf (tomcat6.conf for example in /etc)
and add:
export Your.var=foo
to the end of file
You can check that variable s set with System.getEnv("Your.var") in you java code.
