Setting the JBOSS_CLASSPATH Variable for the JBoss Application Server Instance

You must set the JBOSS_CLASSPATH variable for the JBoss Application Server 4.x/5.x configuration and locale directories.

To set the JBOSS_CLASSPATH variable, modify the JBoss startup script, depending on your platform:

• Solaris and Linux systems: JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh

• Windows: JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat

To Set the JBOSS_CLASSPATH Variable on Solaris and Linux Systems

1. In the JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh script, find the following lines:

   if [ "x$JBOSS_CLASSPATH" = "x" ]; then
     JBOSS_CLASSPATH="$JBOSS_BOOT_CLASSPATH:$JAVAC_JAR"
     else
     JBOSS_CLASSPATH="$JBOSS_CLASSPATH:$JBOSS_BOOT_CLASSPATH:$JAVAC_JAR"
   fi

2. After the lines you found in Step 1, add the following new lines:

   CONFIG=$2
   if [ "x$1"="x" ] && [ "x$CONFIG" = "x" ]; then CONFIG=default; fi
   if [ -r "setAgentClasspath$CONFIG.sh" ]; then
             . /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/bin/setAgentClasspath$CONFIG.sh
   fi

   Note: The previous command is for JBoss Application Server 4.2.3.GA. If you are using a different version, specify the appropriate JBoss Application Server directory.

3. Save the change.

To Set the JBOSS_CLASSPATH Variable on Windows Systems

1. In the JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat script, find the following lines:

   if "%JBOSS_CLASSPATH%" == "" (
              set JBOSS_CLASSPATH=%JAVAC_JAR%;%RUNJAR% 
   ) ELSE (
              set JBOSS_CLASSPATH=%JBOSS_CLASSPATH%;%JAVAC_JAR%;%RUNJAR% 
   )

2. After the lines you found in Step 1, add the following new lines:

   set CONFIG=%2%
   if "x%CONFIG%" == "x" (
         set CONFIG=default 
   )
   if exist setAgentClasspath%CONFIG%.bat (
         call c:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin\setAgentClasspath%CONFIG%.bat
   )

   Note: The previous command is for JBoss Application Server 4.2.3.GA. If you are using a different version, specify the appropriate JBoss Application Server directory.

3. Save the change.
