Umm, your question lacks a lot of information. What do you mean when you run J2EE? Are you running a J2EE server? If so, this information needs to be set on the server.

Where did you set the variable? In Windows? Servers often do not read Windows Environment variables as they have their own set of environment variables.

Please add more details about where you are setting this as well as how you are running your J2EE app.

i am starting j2ee server by giving the command j2ee -verbose.
I've set the environmental variables in windows

Still doesn't answer a lot but this should work- use the -D switch to pass parameters when you start j2ee since your starting from command line (whereever you are setting the verbose switch).

From the java.exe help menu, :

-D<name>=<value>

with no spaces between values and no <> such as:

-DJ2EE_HOME=C:\J2EE

1) What Server are you using? Is it the Sun Java System App Server? (I am guessing this because you have c:\Sun\AppServer in one of your earlier posts)

2) Please copy and paste the actual error message that you get when you try to start the server.

Oh and I forgot to mention, 'verbose' has nothing to do with variables, it has to do with what information is outputted to the command line screen.
