Summary: Startup Listener error message unhelpful Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.16 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Jasper AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the following error on startup: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext can not access a member of class com.mycom.Myclass with modifiers "private" This occurs when the listener class does not have a public zero argument constructor. Could we improve the error message to make it a little easier to understand? It's too bad that the sun docs don't even mention the requirement: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/index.html?javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionListener.html >>> web.xml: <listener> <listener-class>com.mycom.Myclass</listener-class> </listener> where Myclass is located inside my war in WEB-INF/class/com/mycom -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
