If you do have problems with the native library being initialized multiple times, then put the above JAR files into Tomcat's lib directory. No CLASSPATH is necessary. The above link does not refer to web applications, but to Java programs in general, and assumes you are installing this API for use at the system level. It's appropriate to adjust the instructions for your environment, and using the app server's lib directory is such an adjustment. > I agree with that, but it didn't work, unfortunately. Is there a > workaround for ill-engineered applications such as this? Petition IBM to give you a library that uses a more Java-friendly configuration than setting environment variables. IBM is (allegedly) very Java-friendly and they may consider doing this for a new version of their Lotus Forms API for Java. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrl0MEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCPnQCdHLfKvaKI3wDDl1yJXae3sgBE kX4Anj1hY+DfJ5GjVY9me9KuIwxxoX7H =Emyh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
