[tcljava-user] IBM JACL and TCL_CLASSPATH.

[<PFi...@hb...>]

The IBM JACL implementation does not pick up the TCL_CLASSPATH variable.

For example; adding the Derby java database jars.

lappend x C:/IBM/Cloudscape_10.1/lib/derby.jar
lappend x C:/IBM/Cloudscape_10.1/lib/derbyclient.jar
lappend x C:/IBM/Cloudscape_10.1/lib/derbynet.jar
lappend x C:/IBM/Cloudscape_10.1/lib/derbytools.jar

set env(TCL_CLASSPATH) $x

The jacl command "java::import org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"

generates 

WASX7017E: Exception received while running file 
"c:\scripts\websphere\jacl\getJ
VMINFO.tcl"; exception information: com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while 
eval'i
ng Jacl expression: can not import class 
"org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver",
 it does not exist
 
The work around is to add the required jar files to the WAS_CLASSPATH in 
the WSADMIN bat file. 

....................
....................
:runcmd

set WAS_CLASSPATH=C:\IBM\Cloudscape_10.1\lib\derby.jar;%WAS_CLASSPATH%

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %javaoption% %CONSOLE_ENCODING% %DEBUG% 
"%CLIENTSOAP%" "%CLIENTSAS%" 
"-Dcom.ibm.ws.scripting.wsadminprops=%WSADMIN_PROPERTIES%" 
-Dcom.ibm.ws.management.standalone=true 
"-Duser.install.root=%USER_INSTALL_ROOT%" "-Dwas.install.root=%WAS_HOME%" 
"-Dwas.repository.root=%CONFIG_ROOT%" "-Dserver.root=%WAS_HOME%" 
"-Dlocal.cell=%WAS_CELL%" "-Dlocal.node=%WAS_NODE%" 
"-Dcom.ibm.itp.location=%WAS_HOME%\bin" "-classpath" 
"%WAS_CLASSPATH%;%WAS_HOME%\lib\jython.jar" "-Dws.ext.dirs=%WAS_EXT_DIRS%" 
com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.WSLauncher com.ibm.ws.scripting.WasxShell %*
...............
...............

This allows use of the Derby database for WAS performance data logging.
