出现在CatalinaProperties.java 中

    static {

        loadProperties();

    }

读取指定名称【catalina.properties】文件流，生成 Properties 对象，设置到System 环境变量中

        if ((is == null) || (error != null)) {
            // Do something
            log.warn("Failed to load catalina.properties", error);
            // That's fine - we have reasonable defaults.
            properties=new Properties();
        }

        // Register the properties as system properties
        Enumeration<?> enumeration = properties.propertyNames();
        while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
            String name = (String) enumeration.nextElement();
            String value = properties.getProperty(name);
            if (value != null) {
                System.setProperty(name, value);
            }
        }

至此，可知 ，catalina.properties 配置的是系统变量

源码中关于 classloader

    ClassLoader commonLoader = null;
    ClassLoader catalinaLoader = null;
    ClassLoader sharedLoader = null;

创建common.loader , server.loader , shared.loader

    private void initClassLoaders() {
        try {
            commonLoader = createClassLoader("common", null);
            if( commonLoader == null ) {
                // no config file, default to this loader - we might be in a 'single' env.
                commonLoader=this.getClass().getClassLoader();
            }
            catalinaLoader = createClassLoader("server", commonLoader);
            sharedLoader = createClassLoader("shared", commonLoader);
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            handleThrowable(t);
            log.error("Class loader creation threw exception", t);
            System.exit(1);
        }
    }

private ClassLoader createClassLoader(String name, ClassLoader parent)
        throws Exception {

        String value = CatalinaProperties.getProperty(name + ".loader");
        if ((value == null) || (value.equals("")))
            return parent;

        value = replace(value);

        List<Repository> repositories = new ArrayList<Repository>();

        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(value, ",");
        while (tokenizer.hasMoreElements()) {
            String repository = tokenizer.nextToken().trim();
            if (repository.length() == 0) {
                continue;
            }

            // Check for a JAR URL repository
            try {
                @SuppressWarnings("unused")
                URL url = new URL(repository);
                repositories.add(
                        new Repository(repository, RepositoryType.URL));
                continue;
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                // Ignore
            }

            // Local repository
            if (repository.endsWith("*.jar")) {
                repository = repository.substring
                    (0, repository.length() - "*.jar".length());
                repositories.add(
                        new Repository(repository, RepositoryType.GLOB));
            } else if (repository.endsWith(".jar")) {
                repositories.add(
                        new Repository(repository, RepositoryType.JAR));
            } else {
                repositories.add(
                        new Repository(repository, RepositoryType.DIR));
            }
        }

        return ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader(repositories, parent);
    }

ps: catalina.properties 都用在哪里了？

    private SecurityConfig(){
        try{
            packageDefinition = CatalinaProperties.getProperty("package.definition");
            packageAccess = CatalinaProperties.getProperty("package.access");
        } catch (java.lang.Exception ex){
            if (log.isDebugEnabled()){
                log.debug("Unable to load properties using CatalinaProperties", ex);
            }
        }
    }

 String value = CatalinaProperties.getProperty(name + ".loader");

ps:tomee 中 关于classloader的解释

common.loader

Customizable in conf/catalina.properties, the common loader is the Tomcat classloader

shared.loader

Optional layer where you can add libraries for the web applications not seen by Tomcat. It is generally not used and not encouraged since Tomcat 6

webapp1

loader of one of your wars, it container WEB-INF/classes, WEB-INF/lib/.jar

webapp2

loader of another one of your wars, it container WEB-INF/classes, WEB-INF/lib/.jar

application1

loader of another application, it can be an ear, it contains lib and ejbmodules of the ear

earwebapp1

loader of one of the wars of the ear

earwebapp2

loader of the other webapp of the ear
