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?

Kevin

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=$CLAS SPATH:\path\to\ new\files\to\in clude\in\the\cl asspath

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

java -cp=\path\to\new \files\to\inclu de\in\the\class path javaprogram

I have set up a Tomcat server but my Java Classes will not run although
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.

Re: CLASSPATH + Linux

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.
