Yeah it's true that TOMCAT startup script completly ignores the CLASSPATH. I've checked the catalina .sh script where it is using it's own CLASSPATH. When i tried to add my bash_profile CLASSPATH, server startup is giving errors. This is the code in catalina.sh
CP="$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar"; if [ -f "$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar" ] ; then CP=$CP:"$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar" fi if [ -f "$JSSE_HOME/lib/jsse.jar" ] ; then CP=$CP:"$JSSE_HOME/lib/jcert.jar":"$JSSE_HOME/lib/jnet.jar":"$JSSE_HOME/lib/jsse.jar" fi i tried to add my CLASSPATH like this: if [ -f "$CLASSPATH" ] ; then CP=$CP:"$CLASSPATH" fi But it seems it's not even finding $CLASSPATH. Any idea how to manipulate this. Thanks Vijay "Christopher K.
