Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

One thing that you could do would be to modify the catalina.sh (Unix based) or the catalina.bat (windows based).

Within each of the scripts you can set certain variables which only processes created under the shell will inherit. So for catalina.sh, use the following line:

export JAVA_HOME="intented java home"

And for windows use

set JAVA_HOME="intented java home"

Isn't the windows version supposed to differ from the unix version? I'm no batch guy, but I thought it was `set`, or am I dating myself?

Ah. Evil use of the copy paste! I did not mean to put export for the windows version. Ry4an was correct in that set is the correct command. Updating the answer.
