Tips on running tomcat on cygwin (windows)

[Adison H <ad...@vergenet.com>]

Hi all,

When running tomcat on cygwin, I notice that tomcat.sh (or catalina.sh) passes
unix-style classpath to windows-based java.exe (ie.
CP=/some/path/a.jar:/some/path/b.jar, while what we need is really
CP=C:\some\path\a.jar;C:\some\path\b.jar). This causes ClassNotFoundException.

A good and easy way to handle this is to add:

if [ "$OSTYPE" = "cygwin32" ] ; then
  CP=`cygpath --path --windows "$CP"`
fi

before the $CP variable is actually used by java -cp $CP

Hope this helps,
Adison

NB: I'm new to this milis, sorry if what I'm posting here is not relevant. Pls
let me know.

FYI:

On my box (Win98), OSTYPE outputs "cygwin" so the above fails.

I changed it to be:

if [ "$OSTYPE" = "cygwin32" ] || [ "$OSTYPE" = "cygwin" ] ; then
CP=`cygpath --path --windows "$CP"`
fi

and that works, but the problem is that the cygpath doesn't seem to do a
good job of fixing the path characters so the problem still exists.

I'm using the "latest" cygwin tree as of about a week ago, so maybe that is
the problem. I don't know.
