Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Barton <>]

I guess this is one of those rough edges that need smoothing. :-)

My practice has been to use the build directory and its subdirectories. 
I keep copies of jars and config files there, and a shell script (below) 
that sits in the installation directory builds a classpath accordingly.

--

#!/bin/sh

APP_HOME=./build/ldappc

# The user's $CLASSPATH
CP=${CLASSPATH}
# Append build classes
CP=${CP}:${APP_HOME}/classes
# Append config files
CP=${CP}:${APP_HOME}/conf
# Append libs
for f in ${APP_HOME}/lib/*.jar; do CP=${CP}:${f}; done

java -classpath $(cygpath -wp ${CP}) -Xmx256m \
  edu.internet2.middleware.ldappc.Ldappc \
  -subject GrouperSystem \
  $*

--

Note that my script contains a cygwin-specific usage '$(cygpath -wp 
${CP})' that you should replace with '${CP}' if you're not using cygwin.
