Bug 77581 – catalina.sh ignores some /etc/conf.d/tomcat5 settings

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Horst Gutmann 2005-01-11 12:51:06 UTC]

/opt/tomcat5/bin/catalina.sh sources the /etc/conf.d/tomcat5 and then overwrites the CLASSPATH (for example) by executing the setclasspath.sh in the same directory.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add package to the CLASSPATH in the /etc/conf.d/tomcat5
2. Write a small jsp that should use one of the classes in that package
3. Start tomcat and try to view the page

Actual Results:  
The class is not found and the CLASSPATH is missing the added packages

Expected Results:  
The CLASSPATH should have the packages added through the /etc/conf.d/tomcat5

Simple fix: 
Replace line 42 of the setclasspath.sh:
CLASSPATH="$JAVA_HOME"/lib/tools.jar

With:
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:"$JAVA_HOME"/lib/tools.jar

i'm now going to maintain tomcat. starting from tomorrow i'll start to work on this

[Comment 3 Holger Hoffstätte 2005-02-09 09:31:23 UTC]

I also have a similar problem with JAVA_OPTS, which seems to be ignored by the started VM. Maybe the environment variables are not passed correctly to catalina.sh script because of start-stop-daemon's --chuid ?
Will investigate further..
