I am trying to set up Tomcat 5 on Fedora Core 5 and everything iw working find but i do not know how to set my classpath when using tomcat below is a few things that i have tried. I have found i can use the following code to print out the classpath that my program is actaully using, the code is: Get the System Classloader ClassLoader sysClassLoader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(); //Get the URLs URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)sysClassLoader).getURLs(); for(int i=0; i< urls.length; i++) { out.println(urls[i].getFile()); out.println("<br>"); } and the classpath that is printed is: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_12/lib/tools.jar /etc/tomcat5/bin/dist/commons-daemon.jar /etc/tomcat5/bin/bootstrap.jar But i am not sure where this is getting set, i do have the following in my /tomcat5/bin/startup.sh export CLASSPATH=./mapscript.jar:.:/etc/tomcat5/webapps/my_test/WEB-INF/classes so why is this not my classpath at run time?? -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
