Okay, to avoid confusing others, this was wrong. You do (seem) to need the HSQL jars in TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib. The trouble i ran into was with Tomcat 5.5 needing different xml attribute styles on its jetspeed.xml file. When i did finally find a mention of this difference with Tomcat 5.5, i fixed that and Jetspeed2 finally loaded for me. Those that have tried this will know where the story goes next - most of the portlets don't work under Tomcat 5.5, because of a known issue.
That said, to help others avoid this confusion in the future, i would suggest making mention of this issue in the Jetspeed2 Getting Started page. That was the first doc i referred to when attempting to install Jetspeed, and all it says is "Tomcat 5.0.28 or higher" -- there really should be a link under that to "how to setup on Tomcat 5.5", and it can even point to the same doc that is listed on the Wiki (3 lines from the bottom, i wonder why i didn't notice it earlier?). there ya go. two cents from a new user. ... .joe On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 21:57:28 -0800, joe hobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's a link on the Jetspeed-2 Wiki under "Problems Getting Started" > that looks like this... > > > I get a java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to initialize prefs api. > > org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.ClassNotPersistenceCapableException or > > I get class not ClassNotPersistenceCapableException in other places. > > It links to a mailing list archive message suggesting that the person > look for ojb xml files that might be missing.
