By "Tomcat's Context root" do you mean the directory that is currently 
ROOT?

$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar is one of the core classes for Java, and is
implicit on the classpath, so it's "Always" there.

Other JAR files can be placed upon the classpath automatically if you follow
the Java Extension Mechanism (which essentially means placing JAR files into
special parts of the JRE/JDK distribution).

How does Tomcat set the classpath???

[Brandon Cruz <bc...@norvax.com>]

I notice that tomcat 4.1.x explicitly sets $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar and the
bootstrap.jar file to the classpath, but that seems it.  It overwrites any
other classpath settings that may be part of the system.  How does the
compiler know to search for things like $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar?  Are
these automatically added based on the folder they are in within the
$JAVA_HOME?  I don't see anything that indicates that within the startup
scripts (catalina.sh and setclasspath.sh).

Any info would be appreciated.

Brandon
