Tomcat9 projects

Question

How do I best understand changing Catalina base and Catalina home for different versions of tomcat and Java. For example, if I have tomcat6 and Java 5. I know I have to install tomcat in the /opt folder and run start.sh bin command. How do I change the server.xml file to use a specific version of Java??

Answer 1

No you no need to specify java version at all, As i understand your question, you just install java and set the JAVA_HOME path with JDK Root Location... And Set Catalina path with Tomcat root location

Answer 2

But what if your trying to run different versions of java for other apps??
From what I understand, you can run a different java version for another app in a different port, using another tomcat install. For me it is a reminder of virtualenv and its different "instances".
