Tomcat 8 - context.xml use Environment Variable in Datasource

问题

I have a Tomcat 8 project that uses a datasource (see below)

<Resource auth="Container" 
          name="jdbc/JtmDS"  
          driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" 
          type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
          username="xfer"
          password="xfer10" 
          url="jdbc:derby:/home/PUID/tm/control/JtmDB"                    
          initialSize="25"
          maxTotal="100" 
          maxIdle="30" 
          maxWaitMillis="10000"                                      
          removeAbandonedOnBorrow="true"
          removeAbandonedTimeout="20" />

This works perfectly well.

However the url is a hard-coded path /home/PUID/tm/control/JtmDB

When this gets into production the PUID part of the path will differ across numerous systems. I have an environment variable set export PUID=abcd The rest of the application is able to use things like System.getenv( ) or ${env:PUID} as and where appropriate.

These all work fine.

My question is very simply: How can I make the PUID value in my context.xml a variable that can be read from an environment variable?

回答1:

I finally discovered what I actually needed to do here.... Quite simple in the end.

I passed in a java parameter to Tomcat at runtime as shown below.

I added the following bits to setenv.sh

export PUID=abcd

JAVA_OPTS=-Dpuid=${PUID}

Then edited my context.xml as shown here

<Resource auth="Container" 
          name="jdbc/JtmDS"  
          driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" 
          type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
          username="xfer"
          password="xfer10" 
          url="jdbc:derby:/home/${puid}/tm/control/JtmDB"                    
          initialSize="25"
          maxTotal="100" 
          maxIdle="30" 
          maxWaitMillis="10000"                                      
          removeAbandonedOnBorrow="true"
          removeAbandonedTimeout="20" />

So now my Tomcat installation will read this and be able to use a different path for each different PUID.
