I feel stupid asking this question. Now how is setting CLASSPATH different from setting PATH.
I am playing with java,tomcat, et. al and testing some jdbc code which requires me to,
quote: "All you need to do is to put the JAR file in your CLASSPATH, or unpack the JAR file into a directory in your CLASSPATH"
Please advise.
Thanks.

CLASSPATH is an environment variable that points to the path to search for class objects.

so lets say I have to set classpath to a particular location wher a class file resides (/var/tomcat), then how do I do it.
Please explain.
Thanks.
