Thanks for your help, Mark.

But one more question, with that method i have to add the CATALINA_HOME
variable to the environment variables, don´t I?

I have seen that when you install Tomcat, if you press twice the icon of
Tomcat that appears on the task bar, there is a variable with the route of
Tomcat, can i catch this variable or do i have to add CATALINA_HOME to the
environment variables of the system?

Thanks a lot.

The answer is correct as a direct match to the question, but I would
recommend using the following code instead:

System.getProperty("catalina.home")
System.getProperty("catalina.base")


The catalina.bat / catalina.sh script passes values of CATALINA_*
environment variables as system properties, when launching the JVM,
e.g., citing from one of those files:

-Dcatalina.base="%CATALINA_BASE%" -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%"

When launching Tomcat as service in MS Windows those system properties
are defined directly by the service launcher (see Java Options field
in Java tab in the configuration dialog).

Hi Konstantin,

That´s exactly what i wanted. But if I used
"System.getProperty("catalina.home")", that is ok for windows and for linux
Tomcat installation or is it only valid for windows?

Thank you very much.

The OS doesn't really matter as you are using a Java property.

It should work the same way on windows and Linux.
