Hi chris, are you sure about this CLASSPATH-thing?
a few lines above your quoted line catalina.sh sources/includes setclasspath.sh which zaps CLASSPATH ("First clear out the user classpath") I just remembered it because i had to comment this line "CLASSPATH=" to use my externally set environment variable. This happened before i got cured using the CLASSPATH env at all :-) @all: this is no advice for patching tomcat (startup) scripts! kind regards, Markus Christopher Schultz wrote: > Brian, > > Brian Munroe wrote: >> I was always told that Tomcat ignored the CLASSPATH and >> not to use it.
