Ivon, I don't think this is the reason for the problem but why are you moving the servlet.jar file. All the instructions I have ready so far (yes I am still a newbie) say to simply set the classpath to point to where the servlet.jar file is, on a windows machine(and I think unix/linux as well) it should be in %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar. Have you set the environment variables (JAVA_HOME, CATLINA_HOME, CLASSPATH)? Just though I would add my 2 pennies worth.

Re: Help Running Tomcat
The servlet.jar file needs to exist in both Tomcat and the JDK - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Help Running Tomcat
It should just be in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib, and nowhere else, IMHO. - MOD --- Ivon Gonzalez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The servlet.jar file needs to exist in both Tomcat and the JDK - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

By having this setup both tomcat and your Java development enviroment have access to the servlet (and whatever other item you have it in, such as Java Media Framework, jmf.jar) classes.

Re: Help Running Tomcat
Thanks everyone for your responses!! I have received a few messages re: the servlet.jar file. I have tried removing it. From the documentation I have reviewed, even on apache's site, it suggests moving the file. I am running Tomcat 3.2.3. I have my JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME environment variables set, along with my CLASSPATH (which isn't necessary because the .bat files point it to the proper location. Any other suggestions? I appreciate the help! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Help Running Tomcat
Don't move anything. NoClassDefFoundError is thrown when you mess with servlet.jar. It means that the servlet.jar file that Tomcat needs is NOT the servlet.jar file it is finding. You probably have more than one on that computer, and the one Tomcat needs is not being found first. Don't move anything. Unpack Tomcat, set your environment variables, and be done. If you need to compile something, put servlet.jar on your PATH, but do it so that the addition to PATH is the location of the servlet.jar file installed with Tomcat. Don't move the file, there's no need to do so. Also, it would help us if you would tell us what version of Tomcat, and what operating system.

Re: Help Running Tomcat
Well, the error message is still the same. NoClassDefFoundError is not the same as ClassNotFound. As I understand it, NoClassDefFound means that the class Tomcat is finding is not the class it should find. Typically this means that there is more than one version of Tomcat or more than one version of a JAR file on a machine, and the incorrect version is being found instead of the correct version. Other than that, I will have to defer to the gurus...you've mentioned that you have removed all versions of Tomcat, so I don't see any reason why the 3.2.3 you are now trying to install would be confused, but someone more experienced than I might have a suggestion.

Re: Help Running Tomcat
Can you find a class named org.apache.tomcat.logging.Logger in any of the JARS in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib? Maybe you're missing a JAR that you have to add. Also, if I search for that class with Google it turns this up: http://www.caucho.com/support/resin-interest/0009/0126.html The guy who wrote it had the same kind of problem, and he had Resin and Tomcat installed. Do you have any other apps installed (e.g., J2EE reference implementations, etc.) that might be hanging around and causing this? Could be worth a check. - MOD --- John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, the error message is still the same. NoClassDefFoundError is not the same as ClassNotFound.

Re: Help Running Tomcat

Re: Help Running Tomcat
I have solved my problem. JDK had some jar files that were conflicting with running Tomcat. I did, however, (FOR THE RECORD) require the servlet.jar file to be placed in the JDK1.3.1\jre\lib\ext folder. Perhaps the newer versions do not require this but I Tomcat 3.2.3 does. THANK YOU! to all of those who tried all this time to give me advice. You certainly helped me find the right path to my solution. YOU ALL ROCK!!!

Windows can be a bit funny when it comes to changing environment variables... Have you got both TOMCAT_HOME and CATALINA_HOME pointing to your Tomcat install directory? Is your CLASSPATH empty or non existent? It's a bit hard to remotely debug this sort of problem, you just have to experiment and find what is causing the conflict with your classes. :) What JDK are you using by the way? That could be the culprit... Regards, -- Jason Bainbridge http://jblinux.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
