RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service
Hi folks. I'm still unsuccessful at adding an explicit classpath to Tomcat when running as a service via the -Djava.class.path= switch detailed below. Can someone confirm or deny that this is the proper way to add an explicit classpath to the service? If so, I'll log the bug.

If you moved engine.jar from the shared/lib folder to the common/lib folder, would that remove the need to explicitly set the classpath? -Original Message- From: Robert Ensinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 February 2004 16:49 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service Hi folks.

RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service
I gave moving the jar a shot yesterday just to be sure but no dice. I'm not the developer of this app so I can't speak to why its necessary, but the only way to get full functionality from this app is to explicitly add the classpath to the server startup. This works successfully on Weblogic 8.1, SunOne, JRun4. I can get the full app to work properly in Tomcat when started via the startup.bat (classpath added to the setclasspath.bat); now the problem I need to solve is how I duplicate this success when running Tomcat as an NT Service. I haven't found any documentation that specifically addresses adding the classpath to the nt service startup, so I've tried the approaches listed below. Until I can confirm or deny I'm adding the classpath properly I don't know if I have a bug here. I will check if anyone has added an enhancement request for better documentation on the configure tomcat utility. -Original Message- From: Bodycombe, Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 12:00 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service If you moved engine.jar from the shared/lib folder to the common/lib folder, would that remove the need to explicitly set the classpath? -Original Message- From: Robert Ensinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 February 2004 16:49 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service Hi folks.

RE: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service
why don't you just add the files to /common/endorsed/ that way they will get automatically added to the tomcat classpath without you setting any variables. also, setting up tomcat in a file system with spaces in the paths, can be a debug pain in the butt, I would try to avoid doing that Filip -Original Message- From: Robert Ensinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 8:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: need help adding classpath to Tomcat 5.0.18 NT Service Hi Folks, I'm working with an app that needs a classpath kickstart to run properly.
