Bug report #697 has just been filed. You can view the report at the following URL: <http://znutar.cortexity.com/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/697> REPORT #697 Details. Project: Tomcat Category: Feature Requests SubCategory: Enhancement Class: suggest State: received Priority: medium Severity: non-critical Confidence: public Environment: Release: Tomcat 3.2 JVM Release: NA Operating System: Windows OS Release: 2000 Platform: Intel Synopsis: If TOMCAT_HOME is already set by user, bin/tomcat.bat should behave more like bin/tomcat.sh Description: If the TOMCAT_HOME environment variable is already set by the user before tomcat.bat is run, tomcat.bat should respect that decision and move forward w/o quitting, even if lib/servlet.jar doesn't exist. Now, why would you want this? Namely to have the tomcat libs located in an entirely separate directory structure from the content. Unix allows this assuming you set your TOMCAT_HOME and CLASSPATH before calling tomcat.sh. Windows should behave the same. Here is how I modified tomcat.bat: Original line 43 onward: if not "%TOMCAT_HOME%" == "" goto gotTomcatHome set TOMCAT_HOME=. :gotTomcatHome if exist "%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar" goto okTomcatHome echo Unable to locate servlet.jar, check the value of TOMCAT_HOME. goto cleanup :okTomcatHome My proposed changes: if not "%TOMCAT_HOME%" == "" goto gotTomcatHome set TOMCAT_HOME=. :gotTomcatHome if exist "%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar" goto okTomcatHome rem If TOMCAT_HOME does exist, assume that the user knows what they are doing. rem Beware that if the user does not set the CLASSPATH themselves, that rem Tomcat will most likely fail to start. if not "%TOMCAT_HOME%" == "" goto okTomcatHome echo Unable to locate servlet.jar, check the value of TOMCAT_HOME. goto cleanup :okTomcatHome For more info, please contact Mark Manca at [EMAIL PROTECTED]Title: BugRat Report # 697
