Keith,

The problem I have with removing all that stuff is that 90% of it was put
there by applications.  Should I remove parts of it anyway?  I guess that's
where my confusion is since (as I said) most of these variables were entered
by the installation of the applications themselves.

Thanks for your thoughts Keith!

single period = . = class files etc. based on this directory only.

It's just that the CLASSPATH environment variable often does more harm than
good.
If you use java -cp <something> then the CLASSPATH is ignored, and often
scripts that start Java apps will do just that. But then again, sometimes
they add your CLASSPATH to theirs. That's when the trouble starts ...

So basically, Jake's advice is, "remove your CLASSPATH environment variable
if at all possible. Certainly that sounds like way too much junk in there."

Hope this helps
Keith

Can you (or someone)explain your first statement (I'd change your classpath
to be no more than a single period)?

I have both installed on my machine however, I only run one at a time
depending on what I am working on.

My app does not use struts or anything else requiring commons-logging.

Jake,

Enjoy your vacation!  And thanks again.

Yikes.  I'd change your classpath to be no more than a single period.  Set 
the classpath as needed in scripts.  That way, you won't force libraries 
that aren't needed or collide with other libraries on every app you run.

Just to be clear.  Are you running Tomcat or Websphere?  I can't tell you 
what the behavior in Websphere will be.  Tomcat should definitely work for 
logging, though.

BTW, what does your app consist of?  Does it use Struts or anything else 
requiring commons-logging?  That's the most evil invention to come out of 
the Apache project.  In my experience, it just messes up everything.  If 
this is an issue with commons-logging, you'll have to take it up with them.

BTW, I will be leaving for a mini vacation shortly, so someone else is 
probably going to have to take the reins on this one if you require more
help.

good luck!

Jake
