I have setup Tomcat 4.1 in the myeclipse “application server” preference page. I am able to use this for most of my JSP development, but I have a problem with some of our pages that use 3rd party code. When I start Tomcat 4.1 manually the startup scripts have been modified for the 3rd party code to include environment settings as well as setting up the classpath. I think that I can setup the classpath by using the paths, append to classpath settings, but how can I setup the extra environment settings that are in our Tomcat startup scripts? Is there a way to use these scripts to start Tomcat?

The best solution for me would be if there is a way to use my already created script that sets up all of the environment settings and classpath.

Thanks,
Mike Brehm

p.s.
Also, I have so many classes added to the classpath (70) that I can not view the entire paths screen. That page needs to have each of the classpath areas converted to use scroll pains.

Uh oh… thank you for the notice, we are sorry we didn’t notice that sooner.

Unfortunately we don’t support custom launching like that.

To pass the environment variables to the tomcat process, open up the “JDK” branch under your app server, and you should see a big text box under the selection for JDK, here you can add environment variables by using the -D notation… something like:

-Dfirst.param=6 -Dsecond.param=ham

.. and so on.
