Tomcat classpath not set at boot

I've got Tomcat 4.1.24 starting at boot on my Linux box with a script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d.  The script looks like this

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export JAVA_HOME
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/bin/startup.sh


Tomcat is starting at boot and seems to work fine http://localhost:8080
brings up the default Tomcat home page.  The only thing that doesn't seem
to be working is my classpaths that I set in the catalina.sh file are not
being set.  If I start Tomcat from the command line my classpaths are
being read and my servlet works, but when starting Tomcat at boot my
classpaths don't seem to be set because when I try to run my servlet I get
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

I don't get this error when Tomcat is started from the command line.  Why
would starting it at boot time not use my user set classpaths?

Here is the portion of catalina.sh that I added my classpath to.

# Add on extra jar files to CLASSPATH
if [ -n "$JSSE_HOME" ]; then

CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jcert.jar:"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jnet.jar:
"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jsse.jar
fi
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar:
/opt/EspressReport/lib/ReportAPIWithChart.jar:
/opt/EspressReport/lib/ExportLib.jar


I also tried adding the two jar files ReportAPIWithChart.jar and
ExportLib.jar to CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib

Both methods work and my classpaths are set and my servlet works, but only
if Tomcat is started from the command line "CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh".
Why doesn't this work when starting at boot?

I added -Djava.awt.headless=true to catalina.sh and it fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Tomcat classpath not set at boot

Posted by Kwok Peng Tuck <pe...@makmal.net>.
It's something about running tomcat headless I think.

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=859094&forum_id=192228

Try adding this to the tomcat startup scripts : 
-Djava.awt.headless=true  (which you can only do with JDK1.4 or higher) .

Ouch! wacky issues between java and X. The archives have talked about similar 
items and I am sure there are google links talking about use X with java. 
Otherwise - I am pretty clueless on the topic.

Re: Tomcat classpath not set at boot

Posted by Chad Lemmen <ch...@lemmen.com>.
I've done some more testing and it doesn't have anything to do with
starting Tomcat at boot as I first thought.  The problem is that my
servlet tries to connect to the X server when run.  I have no idea why it
needs to connect to the X server (It's a servlet that EspressReport wrote
to connect to a database and generate a report.), but anyway this seems to
be the problem.  In order to get my servlet to work I need to do 'xhost +
localhost' before Tomcat is started.  I'm starting Tomcat as root and root
is not allowed to connect to screen :0 by default since my user name owns
it.

I think if I started Tomcat with my user name and not root it would work,
however, for some reason I can't start Tomcat this way.  When I start
Tomcat as a normal user it starts fine and ps -ef shows the java processes
started by Tomcat, but after about 3 seconds all the processes quit and
Tomcat is no longer running.  Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
As root Tomcat continues to run.

Re: Tomcat classpath not set at boot

Posted by Dominic Parry <do...@rucus.ru.ac.za>.
Do you set your CLASSPATH in your Shell script? or in .login or something like that? Cos then that will work for a manual start, but not for the /init.d one. You'll have to set up the classpath in that script.

  Is it just your servlet that doesn't work, or all servlets? (and jsps)
  Are you using different userids when run from boot time vs command line?

Re: Tomcat classpath not set at boot

Posted by Chad Lemmen <ch...@lemmen.com>.
It's not a system CLASSPATH I have set.  I put the jar files I want in the
CLASSPATH in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib.  Tomcat does recognize these if I
start Tomcat manually, but not if I have Tomcat staring at boot time with
the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

Re: Tomcat classpath not set at boot

Tomcat ignores system CLASSPATH at startup and creates its own.
