CLASSPATH reset in intialization script

           Summary: CLASSPATH reset in intialization script
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Native:Integration
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: deymious@yahoo.com


In order to specify jar libraries to load at startup I authored a setenv.bat
file and put it in /bin, however Tomcat consistently failed to use jar files
that were specified in the setenv.bat. I then carefully traced the setting of
the CLASSPATH through the multiple initialization scripts and found the
following line in setclasspath.bat:

set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar

This line will wipe out the previous CLASSPATH that has been built up to this
point. I replcaed this line with:

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar

This can easily be tested. If you remove the soap.jar file from the /common/lib
directory, place it outside of the CATALINA_HOME directory, specify its location
in the CLASSPATH, and then try to hit localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter,
Tomcat will complain. If you then fix the line mentioned above in
setclasspath.bat, and rerun Tomcat, it will run quite gracefully.
