RE: setting up classpath for tomcat running as windows NT service

["Turner, John" <JT...@AAS.com>]

Tomcat sets it's own classpath...it ignores environment variables except
JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, and CATALINA_BASE.

If your Tomcat installation or webapp has a problem finding particular
classes, or you suspect that it does, you might want to check the
ClassLoader HOWTO for information on exactly how Tomcat finds classes:

Hi,

How to setup classpath for tomcat 4.x running as windows NT service?
Apparently, when started, tomcat.exe does not read from "catalina.bat" (or
so i think).

Regards,
Manav.

mod_jk configuration

[Andreas Hirner <an...@projektinter.net>]

Hello,

I have successfully integrated tomcat (4.0.6) with apache (1.3.26) on linux
and I am able to access a single virtual host (e.g. myapplication) located
in the tomcat/webapps/myapplication directory using a url like that:

http://www.mydomain.com/myapplication/index.jsp

However I would like to be able to access the files in that directory
without using the path /myapplication.

I have been playing around with the configuration files but I have not been
able to alter the configuration according to my needs. Does anybody know if
this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Andreas

This is only partially true, and a common misconception. (John, you should
know better.)

Tomcat does indeed go to great lengths to set up its own class loaders, and
catalina.bat/.sh happens to, mostly, ignore CLASSPATH, but that does not
mean the Tomcat does. In many ways, it simply can't.

You can always change catalina.bat/.sh (or not use it at all if you so
desire) to set the CLASSPATH environment variable, or pass the -classpath
parameter on the java command line, and Tomcat will see those classes
through the system class loader.

It is not the recommended way to add classes to Tomcat, but it is still a
viable, and rarely, a necessary option.

Now, how this affects setting up the CLASSPATH for running Tomcat as a NT
service, I haven't a clue. But, FYI and all that y'all.
