compile against servlet.jar but must run tomcat with servlet-ap1.jar
Hi All, We our new to Tomcat and have a bit of an odd problem. We are developing a getting started project. We have found that we must compile with servlet.jar in our CLASSPATH, but Tomcat will not run with servlet.jar in the CLASSPATH. Tomcat will run with servlet-api.jar, but the test program will not compile with servlet-api.jar in the CLASSPATH. To be more specific we get a: package javax.servlet.http does not exist error when compiling against servlet-api.jar Similar errors ocure when running Tomcat with servlet.jar Changing the CLASSPATH everytime we decide to compile or run isn't much fun. Anybody got an idea on why this is happening, and what the solution is.

Re: tomcat stopped
servlet-api.jar does seem to work. How we found servlet.jar... we googled javax.lang.xxx.xxx, which came from a compile error. The only references were to servlet.jar. The two versions of servlet.jar were quite old.. 1999 and 2001 if I remember correctly, which caused me concern, but it is all we found. Thanks for the help. -Fred Wendy Smoak wrote: From: Fred Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) We had the CLASSPATH set to point to servlet.jar (needed to compile the test program). This was the main problem, which might bring up a versioning question. We are running RH 8.0 on this machine with Tomcat 5.5.7 and apache 2.0.53. What is the correct version of servlet.jar that should be run with this version of Tomcat and Apache? Well... I don't think it's called servlet.jar anymore. A quick look shows no servlet.jar file in the Tomcat 5.5.9 download. I believe the file you want is servlet-api.jar . (I'm still on 4.1, so I'm guessing...) You could also download the official API from Sun, and compile against that. It's not that you need to compile against a specific version of _Tomcat_, it's that you need to compile against the right version of the Servlet Specification. In your case, Tomcat 5.5 is Servlet 2.4, so make sure that's what you're using. Where did you get the 'servlet.jar' file that you were using? Maybe it does contain the right stuff, but those strange NoClassDefFound errors you were getting made me suspicious. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: tomcat stopped
Hi Wendy, We got it working, there were 2 problems. 1) It took 10 seconds for the machine to turn off Tomcat (yes I know ..old hardware) after shutdown.sh was run. And the much more interesting. 2) We had the CLASSPATH set to point to servlet.jar (needed to compile the test program). This was the main problem, which might bring up a versioning question. We are running RH 8.0 on this machine with Tomcat 5.5.7 and apache 2.0.53. What is the correct version of servlet.jar that should be run with this version of Tomcat and Apache? -Fred Wendy Smoak wrote: From: Fred Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] We just use cp to get foo.war into the webapps dir. But we shut down tomcat first, then restart it. The exact steps: We build our test app under a /home file system, then cp the .war file to the Tomcat webapps dir , Tomcat is under the same /home file system. Shut down Tomcat. Startup Tomcat. Go to //localhost:8080/foo/ with FireFox, we see a blank screen. This is based on my experience with Tomcat 4.1. If you're using 5, things might be different. That said, try this: 1. shut down Tomcat 2. delete the 'myapp' directory under webapps 3. copy the new myapp.war file into webapps 4. start Tomcat I assume you have Tomcat configured to explode the .war file. If you don't delete the directory, Tomcat won't ever explode your new .war file. (Alternately, configure it to run from the un-exploded .war file.) It concerns me that the Manager does not run from localhost:8080 or anything else for that matter. I think the first step maybe to get Tomcats home page links working. Did it ever work? Do you get the authentication challenge? Did you add a user to tomcat-users.xml with the correct roles? Are you certain you're compiling against the same version of servlet.jar (or the equivalent) that you're running with? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

tomcat stopped
Hi All, We are new to tomcat and have been having some difficulties. Things started out well, but when development work started, Tomcat stopped responding to any changes in the reinstalled .war file. IE a new //localhost:8080/foo/ was the same as the old. We get localhost:8080, but now all it's links and all our code displays a blank screen. And the oddest problem is we can go to localhost:8080/foo when foo has been removed and there is no error generated. We go through the ./startup.sh and ./shutdown.sh steps every time a server was changed. We have reinstalled Tomcat.
