Sorry, but that advice is simply wrong and following it can produce serious Tomcat classloading problems. If you are using the standard startup and shutdown scripts supplied with the Tomcat download, the CLASSPATH environment variable is not used. Instead, the scripts set the -cp parameter based on CATALINA_HOME, and the only item that should be specified there is bootstrap.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/bin. Tomcat does not need the j2ee.jar at all, and placing it within the Tomcat environment can cause duplicate class problems with the subset of J2EE that is already included in the Tomcat download. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
