Hello, my colleagues just gave me a challenge before I can retire but the problem is I haven't done anything else than Email/Excel for years, being an old-school manager. Please be indulgent.
It took hours before I could find the Tomcat source, unzip it, and much more to understand the magics with ANT which needs Java to run (I was ashamed to learn that but the Tomcat documentation is well written, thanks). Here I am blocked, I need to implement a very simple Authenticator relying on a proprietary Java library. When adding the import lines for importing this proprietary package, it's not possible to compile anymore. I get the following errors. From what I understand, building Tomcat with an additional library would need to add it somewhere but I was not able to find this in the documentation. Does anyone have an idea ? thanks for reading A.Hubert. compile: [javac] Compiling 1 source file to /home/ahubert/tests/tomcat-src/apache-tomcat-9.0.52-src/output/classes [javac] /home/ahubert/tests/tomcat-src/apache-tomcat-9.0.52-src/java/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/BasicAuthenticatorToto.java:19: error: package com.exane.authentification does not exist [javac] import static com.exane.authentification.Authent.*; [javac] ^ [javac] /home/ahubert/tests/tomcat-src/apache-tomcat-9.0.52-src/java/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/BasicAuthenticatorToto.java:20: error: package com.exane.authentification does not exist [javac] import static com.exane.authentification.Verif.*; [javac] ^ [javac] /home/ahubert/tests/tomcat-src/apache-tomcat-9.0.52-src/java/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/BasicAuthenticatorToto.java:22: error: package com.exane.authentification does not exist [javac] import com.exane.authentification.*; [javac] ^ [javac] 3 errors BUILD FAILED /home/ahubert/tests/tomcat-src/apache-tomcat-9.0.52-src/build.xml:973: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
