Environment variable in linux

[Pravin Shirke]

The environment variable where i store the xml files physical path then in the connections.java class i read the environment variable and pass it to the confighandler.java
Here is the code for the above.
String path=System.getenv("CONFIG_PATH").toString();//read the environment variable named CONFIG_PATH
filePath=new File(path).toURI().toString();
and pass it on to the ConfigHandler
ConfigHandler config=new ConfigHandler(filePath);
I have created the environment variable in windows where i store the physical path of the Config.xml file, I am able to read the path of the environment variable in windows but not in linux redhat 5 server
The prob is that i need to deploy it on the linux redhat 5 server.
on linux also i have declared the environment variable with the same name but it does not reads the file when i deploy the project as a war in tomcat 5.5 but when i tried to test it with a sample jsp it read the environment variable. can any one give any hint. i have given 777 rights for that war file so root can execute the war file.
any suggestions??
