CLASSPATH is _not_ set by default. That is because redhat-like systems use the /etc/alternatives framework. 'man alternatives' followed by a typical noodle-bake for specifics on how to set things in that environment.<br>
<br>back to CLASSPATH: It is not unheard of to have multiple java environment on a single system. Therefore the start-up of any app(let) will have a config section that will set the appropriate CLASSPATH for that instance.<br>
<br>Yes. It's maddening. Also the config files for each app in tomcat can have their own CLASSPATH although that's usually appended to the default one and packaged in the .war file.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

In Gentoo-land, I can just type "java-config -r", but on Red-Hat-alikes,<br>
how can I read back a Tomcat server's classpath? $CLASSPATH does not<br>
seem to have a value exported out to the entire system.<br>
