Re: [Geoserver-users] Error installing 1.7.0-beta1 (Context initialization failed)

[Tyler E. <tyl...@mt...>]

I don't think I put the 'old spring jars into the jdk' (because I wouldn't
know how to do so). I don't have a great understanding of how to test what
java libraries are being used, but I can test with verbose instructions on
how to do so.  Here is what I have observed (hope this helps)...

To the best of my knowledge I am using the standard jdk available from the
ubuntu package manager (currently using Ubuntu 8.04).  I have the following
packages installed: sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre, and
sun-java6-plugin

Here is what java version I am using...
latituded830b ~: java -version
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)

Does that indicate that I am using the JRE rather than the JDK?

Here are the java alternatives I have available...
latituded830b ~: sudo update-java-alternatives -l
java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj

The init.d script sets the java location as follows...
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Could we try explicitly setting the classpath in the init.d script.  If so,
what should the classpath be?

Unfortunately, I don't currently have an easy way to test this out on
another Ubuntu machine.  I could probably find a way to setup another
machine, but it would take some time.
