Re: Is CLASSPATH ignored ?

[Michael Timpe]

There is a way to use the classpath. In the script catalina.bat/catalina.sh the variable CLASSPATH is overwritten and all previous content is skipped. You can fix this by including the content of the CLASSPATH variable. There is also a script called setclasspath.sh/setclasspath.bat. You can change this also. I did not find a solution if you're using the Tomcat service under Win NT/2000/XP. If you need JARS outside the Tomcat installation you have to go this way and to start Tomcat using the scripts instead of using the service.

Change the line

set CLASSPATH=...

to (according to your plattform)

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;... or
set CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH};...

Subject: Is CLASSPATH ignored ?

All,

Does the UNIX Tomcat implementation ignore the CLASSPATH environment
variable ?

Yes.

For example, in order to make DBCP pooling work, I placed the Oracle JAR
file in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib Does this mean that all application JAR
files must be installed in ../common/lib ?

Thanks
