On my test system Tomcat 7 runs with root access, but on my production =
system it runs with an unprivileged user on port 9090 and a Nginx works =
like a proxy for https. This works fine, but
on the Tomcat runs Jenkins and a project planning system.=20
My Jenkins installation is configures by a XML file in the /etc/tomcat7 =
directory with this content:

<Context docBase=3D"/usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war" privileged=3D"true" =
allowLinking=3D"true" crossContext=3D"true" autoDeploy=3D"true" >
    <Environment name=3D"JENKINS_HOME" value=3D"/home/jenkins/" =
type=3D"java.lang.String"/>
</Context>

With the value JENKINS_HOME I can change the data directory of Jenkins.

The project planning system uses only ${user.home}, so I would like to =
redefine this environment value for this war only (because the backup =
system runs over the /home dir).=20
I'm working the first time with tomcat but not with java.

Thanks Phil=
