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. 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.

The jar is deployed to %CATALINA_HOME%\shared\lib\. When starting the server via the startup.bat, the app works properly when the set classpath variable in the setclasspath.bat is defined as: set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\shared\lib\engine.jar Now I wish to see this app run when Tomcat is started as a service. Under Java VM in the configuration utility I have added: -Djava.class.path="%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\shared\lib\engi ne.jar" My Java Options box reads as follows: -Dcatalina.home="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\endorsed" -Djava.class.path="%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\shared\lib\engi ne.jar" -Xrs This isn't working. I've read the docs and How Tos, spelunked this list, googled, added this classpath to the systems environmental variables, to the catalina.xml, and even the catalina.proprties. None of this seems to work. Where is the proper spot to add a classpath to Tomcat running as a service? What is the proper syntax? (examples?) My java version is 1.4.2. I have successfully setup this app in JRun4 & Weblogic 8.1 running as services. Need a little help with the Tomcat. Thanks!
