CLASSPATH + Linux

[KevinRobinson]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to add or change a Java classpath in SUSE
Linux 9.3.

I have set up a Tomcat server but my Java Classes will not run although they
do on a windows box.

Not sure what that means. Do I create a new file and add the classpath too
it?

If so where should the file go?
Regards

Sorry Kevin,

There should be a skeleton included with the tomcat install:
/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/setclasspath.sh

You can edit this and add your classpath entry. You can still use the
WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib folders as usual. e.g.:
/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF

In a shell you can set the CLASSPATH environment variable

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:\path\to\new\files\to\include \in\the\classpath

You can also call java with the -cp (classpath option)

java -cp=\path\to\new\files\to\include\in\the\classpath javaprogram

they do on a windows box.

Have a look at the documentation of the tomcat server. I am sure it will
mention how to use it on linux.

Thanks for this but it still won't work.

If I type env in the console the CLASSPATH appears in the list of variables
but only if it is entered in the alljava.sh.

If I put it in the setclasspath.sh and do env then CLASSPATH doesn't appear
in the variable list.

However whichever way I do it the app still won't work.

That will not work - in Linux / UNIX the path separator is the forward slash,
not the backslash, Windows also accepts forward slashes now, so there is no
excuse any more to use backslash as a path separator character.

Backslash will always be an escape for me.

I should have read your next post, sorry.

The setclasspath.sh that comes with Tomcat should set the classpath used
by the server...it shouldn't affect what you see when you type env.

After adding your path the setclasspath.sh, you probably need to stop
and start Tomcat to pick up the change.
