In the previous article, BootStarp started by running the main function directly, with a system property of Catalina. home added. Under normal circumstances, Tomcat is started by running scripts, which involves a pile of script files copied from the script directory when building the project.

Line 17 if “%OS%” == “Windows_NT” setlocal is to temporarily modify system variables for batch operation. Lines 26 through 33 set the CATALINA_HOME environment variable. If it is not set on the operating system, the directory where the script is currently running will be used as the value of the environment variable, and eventually line 37 will be skipped. Lines 39 to 46 verify that the catalina.bat file in the directory shown in the CATALINA_HOME variable exists. If it does not, the batch process ends. If you set additional parameters before running the script at lines 48 to 55, save them in the CMD_LINE_ARGS variable. Finally, line 57 executes the catalina.bat batch file. Note that this line is followed by two arguments, the first of which is start.

Lines 1 to 99 are a bunch of comments, and lines 100 to 110 are a bunch of run files, so I’m just going to skip to line 111, delete any intermediate files that might be generated, and follow the normal process, In the above startup. Bat file has already set the CATALINA_HOME variables, and check the quantity change bin \ catalina. Bat file already exists (I guess the author write this paragraph is to prevent the user run directly catalina. Bat file). Set CATALINA_BASE on lines 130 to 133. Skip the comments on the middle lines. Execute the setenv.bat file if it exists on lines 139 to 144. Lines 147 to 153 execute the setclasspath. Bat file (this file is provided in the same directory, the script is posted below, you can read it, I won’t analyze it here. Check whether the JAVA_HOME variable is set. If not, a message is displayed on the console. Notice that line 79 sets the _RUNJAVA variable, whose value is the java.exe file in the bin directory of JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME). Check and set a bunch of variables from lines 156 through 224 (note lines 202, 203, and 204, which will be used when you finally start the analysis). Lines 226 to 231 will jump to the doStart tag line based on the parameters set when catalina.bat is called, as explained at the end of the previous paragraph. Starting at line 265, after the checksum sets some variables (note line 269) it jumps to the execCmd tag line, which is line 297. Lines 297 to 305 save system parameters to the CMD_LINE_ARGS variable.

Next comes the answer to the riddle, which normally runs to 310 lines. Here’s a separate post for analysis: %_EXECJAVA% %JAVA_OPTS% %CATALINA_OPTS% %DEBUG_OPTS% -Djava.endorsed.dirs=”%JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS%” -classpath “%CLASSPATH%” -Dcatalina.base=”%CATALINA_BASE%” -Dcatalina.home=”%CATALINA_HOME%” -Djava.io.tmpdir=”%CATALINA_TMPDIR%” %MAINCLASS% %CMD_LINE_ARGS% %ACTION% As prompted on line 202, _EXECJAVA started with a value equal to _RUNJAVA, but changed to start “%TITLE%” %_RUNJAVA% on line 269, The effect here is to launch another command line window, give the window a name, and finally execute the java.exe file. From before starting to MAINCLASS % % % JAVA_OPTS % is in setting up the runtime parameters and system properties, MAINCLASS % % 203 lines of org. The apache. Catalina. Startup. The Bootstrap, followed by other command line arguments, The last parameter, %ACTION%, is set to start at line 204. In short, execute the main method of the Bootstrap class.

Third, summary

You can run tomcat in different ways according to different parameters in Catalina.bat:


debug             Start Catalina in a debugger
debug -security   Debug Catalina with a security manager
jpda start        Start Catalina under JPDA debugger
run               Start Catalina in the current window
run -security     Start in the current window with security manager
start             Start Catalina in a separate window
start -security   Start in a separate window with security manager
stop              Stop Catalina
configtest        Run a basic syntax check on server.xml

As long as you can understand basic DOS commands, these scripts are actually easy to read. If you can browse through other BAT files, you will find that catalina.bat files will be executed after a long time. In catalina.bat, the main method of the Bootstrap file is executed. The difference is that the main method is called with different input parameters. The bat file is used to start Tomcat in Windows, and the sh file is used to start Tomcat in Unix. The principles are the same.
