API to Get the apache tomcat bin path?

[ArunDhaJ]

Hi Friends,
Is there any API to get the apache tomcat installed folder. for eg:
I've to get as "D:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\bin"....


Actually during development I ran tomcat using "startup.bat"..... and
was using System.getProperty("user.dir"); API to get the path....

But now I want the Tomcat to run as service so using "service.bat" to
intall tomcat as service... but the above API gives me "C:\Windows
\system32\"... which causes me problem...


please help me in either of the solution:
1. Is there any command to set the path in "service.bat" as the tomcat
directory so that the I can overcome the problem without any code
change.
2. Is there any other property like "user.dir" to fetch the tomcat
installed directory..

You can try:

System.getenv("CATALINA_HOME")
