I am using: Tomcat 6.0.33
In the catalina.properties file I have the following:
shared.loader=/path/to/a/directory,${tomcat.additional.classpath}
My issue is that "/path/to/a/directory" is added to the classpath, but the
contents of ${tomcat.additional.classpath} are not.
'ps -eaf' does show -Dtomcat.additional.classpath=/path/to/another/directory,
so I know the system property is being set correctly.
Also, if I hard code
shared.loader=/path/to/a/directory,/path/to/another/directory, this also works
fine (note: This is not really an option-this additional-classpath stuff is
added by our deployment automation for push-button deploys).
This problem exists with common.loader & server.loader too.
This problem does not exist in 5.5.33.
Does anyone know why ${tomcat.additional.classpath} would not be expanded? Is
there something special I need to enable under 6.0.33 to allow the classpath to
be modified by a system property?
Thanks for any help people can provide.
