RE: Controlling Library List

Well, one of the Java system properties is "java.library.path", which
according to the documentation contains "OS/400 library list".  So something
along the lines of 

java -Djava.library.path=LIB1:LIB2:LIB3 yourClass

MIGHT work.  I don't know if : is the correct separator here but examining
the existing value of the property would tell you that.  Setting system
properties in servlets is not done this way though, you have to do a
configuration thing.

Subject: Controlling Library List



Is there an easy and consistent way to control the library list that is in
effect when a Java program executes?

I have a Java class that I am creating that will be making calls to various
"native" programs, as well as possible accessing files.  This class will be
executed in a variety of ways, possibly from a servlet in WebSphere,
possibly from a CL program via RUNJVA, etc.  I would like to control the
library list externally so that I can run the same program in different
environments, therefore I do not want the Java class itself to manipluate
the library list.

How can this be done?  I have seen references to setting some Java
properties, but I am not sure if that is specific to WebSphere or could
always be used.

I would be more than happy if I could just be pointed to the relevant
documentation if it exists.

Thanks
