Tomcat 5.5.20: issue with tomcat service & defining application specific environment variables
Hi,
I am using Tomcat5.5.20 along with jdk 1.5.0_09 on Windows XP SP1 and running Tomcat as a Windows Service. For running Tomcat as windows service, I opened a cmd line prompt and executed the bat file, service.bat by providing the argument as "service.bat install".
Then, I started the service and tomcat is running on the port 8080. I could access the Tomcat default page (http://localhost:8080) successfully. It worked fine upto this point.
Issue 1:
When I tried to access an application that I deployed by placing the war file in the webapps directory, it gives the exceptions. I could not access the login page of my application.
The error says a dll of my application is not in java.library.path. (Everything works fine if I start the tomcat using the Startup.bat instead of running it as service. I could login to my application and perform the tasks as required).
But the path to this dll is defined in the SYSTEM variables in the SYSTEM PATH variable.
It seems that tomcat is not able to read the SYSTEM Path correctly. Can any one provide me inputs on how to fix this issue?
Issue 2:
Also, if the tomcat is running in service mode, how to provide the application specific environment variables? I tried creating the file setenv.bat inside <CATALINA_HOME>\bin directory and stopped and restarted the service. But, tomcat service has not picked them up. (If we run tomcat in non-service mode, we can define the application specific settings in Startup.bat).
Thanks for your consideration.
Regards,
Sampath Kumar

This is _not_ an environment variable - it's a Java system property.

You can see what the values are by deploying Lambda Probe in Tomcat and
looking at the System Properties page. Does Tomcat running as a service
(usually using the System account) have access to the path you defined?
Such a path must point to a location on a local hard drive.

Not surprising; nothing in the JVM looks for a system property named
"PATH".

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your follow up and here is an update from me.
I set the environment variable, -Djava.library.path on the java tab of 'Tomat Service Monitor' for java.library.path and it appeared to me that the Tomcat picked up this value as it gave me a different error as "Can't find Dependent Libraries."
"java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: <<the dll name with correct path as expected>> Can't find dependent libraries"
I tried adding the Path variable to the java tab by adding, -DPath=%PATH%.... did not work.
Another attempt by adding the -DPath=<<copied the System Path>> and still did not work.
If I run the Tomcat using the startup.bat instead of running as Service, everything works fine.
Any more inputs?
Regards,
Sampath

I just verified that arbitrary -D parameters are handled properly with
the Java tab of tomcat5w.exe. I added these values:
-Dtest.property=dummy
-Djava.library.path=G:\testing
and Lambda Probe shows both of them in its system properties display.
You do have to restart Tomcat after setting them, of course. This is
with Tomcat 5.5.20 and both JDK 1.5 and 1.6.

a re-iteration of the suggestion already offered
if in $JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/i386/jvm.cfg you would see a specification for java.library.path as in
/********contents of jvm.cfg**********/
java.library.path=/opt/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/lib/i386/client
then..
place your dll in /opt/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/lib/i386/client

Thanks Chuck for your response. I tried your suggestion of providing an additional argument on Java tab for java.library.path and it did not work.
Any further inputs would be appreciated.

Not sure if services have access to environment variables. In any
event, the easiest way is to set the appropriate -D values in the Java
tab of the tomcat5w.exe utility. For this case, it's:
-Djava.library.path=

As above, I think you'll need to use Java system properties, not
environment variables.

Not sure if services have access to environment variables. In any
event, the easiest way is to set the appropriate -D values in the Java
tab of the tomcat5w.exe utility. For this case, it's:
-Djava.library.path=<your-name-here>

As above, I think you'll need to use Java system properties, not
