Just one thing I forgot to ask.
Using the PATH Variable works fine when starting the Tomcat from a command
shell.
Nevertheless if I start the Tomcat from within Eclipse (MyEclipse), it does
not care if the directory is specified in the PATH or not. The DLL is not
being loaded. In order for it to work I have to append the directory to the
"library path" when starting the Tomcat from within Eclipse.
Why is this so? Am I doing something wrong? I mean it is the same Tomcat.
Just once started from within Eclipse.
It's the same Tomcat installation, but Eclipse is very likely to be
using it's own configuration files to launch it.
You'll probably find some info about this in the Eclipse docs.

Just some quick questions for a better understanding:
If a Java program calls System.loadLibrary("XXX"), are all directories
specified by the PATH varibale searched for a DLL called XXX? In case
there are more directories specified that do contain a DLL called XXX,
which one is taken? The first occurence specified in the PATH Variable,
the last one?
Can anyone explain the difference between PATH, CLASSPATH and
java.library.path. I am a little stuck on when to use use which property.
Thanks in Advance for your time!
Greetings

Subject: Tomcat loading dlls
Do I place the needed dlls into another directory and alter an
environmental variable (f.e. java.library.path, PATH, CLASSPATH,
...) or do i alter catalina.bat/startup.bat?
Since you're on Windows, the easiest approach is just to insure the DLLs
are somewhere in the PATH - if you're running Tomcat from the .bat
scripts. If you want to modify the PATH variable to include an
additional directory, do that with setenv.bat; don't modify catalina.bat
or startup.bat.
If you're running Tomcat as a Windows service, set the java.libary.path
system property in the Java tab of the tomcat?w.exe program to point to
the directory where the DLLs are. (Fill in the ? with the level of
Tomcat you're using - which you didn't tell us.)
