I use IntelliJ 2016.3.4 and one Tomcat8 installation, I point my CATALINA_HOME to this one installation, my CATALINA_BASE I set to three different locations as I run and deploy three different web applications as:
-Dcatalina.base="C:\server\1"
-Dcatalina.home="C:\tools\apache-tomcat-8.0.41"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\tools\apache-tomcat-8.0.41\endorsed"
-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\tools\apache-tomcat-8.0.41\temp"
-Dcatalina.base="C:\server\2"
-Dcatalina.base="C:\server\3"
Question 1. The three CATALINA_BASE directories above are emtpy, why?
IntelliJ puts everything under:
C:\Users\john\.IntelliJIdea2016.3\system\tomcat
In three directores:
Unnamed_mycompany
Sys_(1)_mycompany_2
Sys_(1)_mycompany
Question 2. I did not create the naming, how can i myself define the name of the directories?
Question 3. Where does the Unamed_ part come from?
Question 4. Should not everything land under CATALINA_BASE?
