Behind the scenes, the Tomcat’s start up script ( startup.bat/ startup.sh) will invoke the “setenv” script if it is present. It doesn’t apply for Tomcat installed as a service.
#XAMPP TOMCAT ROOT FOLDER ZIP#
On Windows, create the setenv.bat file with the following content: set "JRE_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\jre"Įxit /b 0On *nix, create the setenv.sh file with the following content: JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_03/jreĬATALINA_PID="$CATALINA_BASE/tomcat.pid"Note that this way only works with Tomcat installed from a zip distribution. This file does not exist by default, so create such file and place it under CATALINA_BASE\bin directory ( CATALINA_BASE is the Tomcat installation directory). Changing JRE by using “setenv” scriptWe can change the JRE for Tomcat by setting the JRE_HOME variable in a script file called setenv.bat (on Windows) or setenv.sh (on *nix). JRE_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre7Notice that updating the JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variables will affect all the applications that depend on them, so if you want to look for a more independent approach, see the second way as described below.
Here’s an example of a valid value for the JRE_HOME variable (path on Windows): If both the JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME environment variables are set, the JRE_HOME is preferred.Therefore, we change JRE for Tomcat by updating this variable. If only the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set, Tomcat will run under the JRE as part of the JDK specified by the JAVA_HOME variable.Changing JRE by updating JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOMEThis way is very simple to implement but it works only for Tomcat installed from a zip distribution (in contrast to Tomcat installed as a service). Localhost:8080/manager/statusAnd look at the JVM Version column: 1. In this article, we summarize different ways to change JRE for a Tomcat installation.To know which JRE version is used for Tomcat, go to the following URL: Sometimes we need to change the default JRE for Tomcat, either for testing purposes or to run Tomcat under a targeted version of JRE. Basically, an installation of Tomcat is running under the default JRE which can be found based on environment variables ( JAVA_HOME), or registry entries (on Windows) or the JRE is specified during installation (Tomcat is installed as a service).
