rem Environment Variable Prequisites
rem
rem CATALINA_HOME May point at your Catalina "build" directory.
rem
rem CATALINA_BASE (Optional) Base directory for resolving dynamic portions
rem of a Catalina installation. If not present, resolves to
rem the same directory that CATALINA_HOME points to.
rem
rem CATALINA_OPTS (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "start",
rem "stop", or "run" command is executed.
rem
rem CATALINA_TMPDIR (Optional) Directory path location of temporary directory
rem the JVM should use (java.io.tmpdir). Defaults to
rem %CATALINA_BASE%\temp.
rem
rem JAVA_HOME Must point at your Java Development Kit installation.
rem
rem JAVA_OPTS (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "start",
rem "stop", or "run" command is executed.
rem
rem JSSE_HOME (Optional) May point at your Java Secure Sockets Extension
rem (JSSE) installation, whose JAR files will be added to the
rem system class path used to start Tomcat.
rem
rem JPDA_TRANSPORT (Optional) JPDA transport used when the "jpda start"
rem command is executed. The default is "dt_shmem".
rem
rem JPDA_ADDRESS (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "jpda start"
rem command is executed. The default is "jdbconn".
