[lug] j2sdk problems

[Brad Doctor]

For a tomcat rc script, this may work:

CATALINA_HOME="<path to install>"
JAVA_HOME="<path to install>"
export JAVA_HOME
export CATALINA_OPTS

case $1 in

        start) 
         echo "Starting Tomcat from ${CATALINA_HOME}"
            $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
          if [ $? != 0 ]; then
              echo ""
              echo "There was a problem starting Tomcat"
            else
              echo ""
              echo "Sucessfully started Tomcat"
          fi
         ;;

As a general rule, you should always have JAVA_HOME set any time you are 
working with java, and if you are doing anything with external classes,
your CLASSPATH var needs to be set.  For example:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -classpath $CLASSPATH <path to function within external jar>
