Hi there,

I ran into an issue I can’t explain. I have a servlet that is using a jar that contains a native call (Notes.jar of Lotus Domino to be precise). The called DLL is in my system path. When I run the servlet on Tomcat running as a windows service it works fine without any problem (other than my poor Java coding, but that’s a different story 🙁 ).
When I run Tomcat from inside Eclipse (to debug my code) I get an Unsatisfied link error complaining that the DLL was not found.
What do I need to do, so Tomcat in Eclipse/Debug behaves similar to Tomcat as service?

try set java.library.path to directory where are DLLs
(-Djava.library.path=YOUR_PATH in Windows-Prefereces-TomcatX-JDK-Optional VM arguments)

I got it working. Seems like Tomcat started out of Eclipse is ignoring the Windows Path. You have to go to
Windows-Preferences-MyEclipse-Application Servers-Tomcat 5-Path
There add the directory with the libraries to “Append to library path”

Btw: If you intend to run multiple apps with this library you must move the jar that calls the lib to {tomcat-root}/common/lib

Thx for helping
🙂 stw
