... this is one of those moments ... Doh!
I worked out what is happening and my error, the variables are being
passed to the sub processes spawned by the tomcat5 script, however no
changes is being made to the current process environment.
To export them to a current shell I need to add a script to
/etc/profile.d to ensure that the relevant settings can be passed to
things like installation programs that install outside of the tomcat
environment. The script probably needs to be generated by the tomcat5
script so it reflects current settings... which could be fun....
As long as this is not your server but a hack machine it can be fun
:), nevertheless I would advise you to install your own tomcat for
your user and set things up, that way if something goes hay wire you
will not have to dig very deep.
Good luck!
