Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
Sorry to bother you again Jacob. But heres what I have found out, first time into a program, the database opens, updates and closes all with a Status of 0 and 0... Enter another program,and the database opens with a Status of SqlCode = -1 and SqlState = 08002 (connection name in Use). And then, any other attempt to access database results in -1 and 08000 thereafter. By backing out to Tomcat manager, stopping and restarting the application, seems to take care of the 08002, but then it reappears right after you do an initial open/close.. Is there anything at all that you are aware of, that Tomcat keeps a resource open? On my close, I do a COMMIT followed by DISCONNECT ALL.. Im so sorry for bothering you.

Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
Hi, is this Jerry Could I ask you a question,wondering if you are having the same problem as I am. Im using Tomcat for windows The Installer version.. I added my application, went to the Comapny Logon screen,which opens MySql database, updates it, and closes it. All successfully. I then go to the User Login screen,which does the same functions as above, open, update, closeand on my Open database, I get a 08002 (connection name in use). Any subsequent call gives an 08000. By backing out to Tomcat manager, stopping and restarting the application, seems to take care of the 08002, but then it reappears right after you do an initial open/close.. Is there anything at all that you are aware of, that Tomcat keeps a resource open? On my close, I do a COMMIT followed by DISCONNECT ALL.. Im so sorry for bothering you. What problem were you experiencing? By the way, Im running Servlets.. Do you have any idea what my problem may be, Im totally new to this type of programming, and extremely frustrated, cause my App works fine in CGI format under a different Web Browser, only problem is, CGI is extremely slow.. I need it to work in Servlets Thank You Mike - Original Message - From: Nelson, Jerry W, Contractor 146CF, SCB [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tomcat Users List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 11:34 AM Subject: RE: Tomcat will not run JSPs THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU THAT HELPED.

Uninstall Tomcat. Grab the .zip file distribution and extract it to a directory *without spaces*. Now, change the value of CATALINA_HOME to the new location of Tomcat. Reboot. The reboot is sometimes not necessary, but many times it is in order for your environment variables to be recognized. Just be safe and reboot. Now you are ready to run. The question is, which way are you running it? I suggest running using the startup.bat file. You can create a shortcut to this on your desktop (same with shutdown.bat) to make things easier. Since you seem to be a relative newbie to Tomcat (and possibly to programming???), I don't suggest trying to set up the windows service, especially since the service.bat currently doesn't include tools.jar in the classpath and will cause JSP not to compile. Why this hasn't been changed by the Tomcat developers is beyond me. I've reported it many a time and it is simply ignored. Baffling! Anyway, you should be set to go. Seriously, Tomcat is one of the simplest apps out there to set up.

Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
sounds to me like you aren't using connection pooling. Rather, you are opening a connection each time, but not fully closing the connection. Additionally, your database is probably set to only support 1 connection for this particular user at a time. You might want to check into allowing more connections and using connection pooling so that they stay open constantly so it isn't so expensive to use them.

Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
Ok, but running as a service offers it's own set of complexities. For instance, the environment variables you've set (JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME) may not be visible to the Tomcat service. This is a reality of services under Windows, not anything to do with Java or Tomcat. Also, that handy, nifty installer seems to be known for not finding the JDK properly. People have had to fix that after installation because the installer finds the JRE first. A couple of places to look for that is 1) in the Apache Tomcat group installed in your Start menu and 2) service.bat that seems to be available in recent versions of tomcat 5. If I were you, I would start by stopping the tomcat service and then starting it with the manual bat files in the bin directory of tomcat 5. Get that to work and then take a look at service.bat I believe. I'm a unix person, but I've seen it referenced enough on the list for Windows installs. A search of the archives may help you out a lot. Also test in increments.

Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
From: Nelson, Jerry W OK, How do I set JAVA_HOME??? The same way you set CLASSPATH-- it depends on your operating system. For Windows, I do it in Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Advanced-Environment Variables and put it under System variables so it stays set. And... set it to the directory that *contains* 'bin', not all the way down to the bin directory [that one goes in your PATH]. This is a JDK installation question, nothing much to do with Tomcat.

Re: Tomcat will not run JSPs
yes, SDK stands for Software Development Kit (which is a very general term). JDK is Java SDK. Sun Microsystems, the company that'd created java has a pretty good overview of java, including tutorials at: http://java.sun.com/learning/new2java/index.html if you'd like to learn java programming, you can use online tutorials or get a copy of core java by Horstmann and Cornell. cheers -nikita Nelson, Jerry W, Contractor 146CF, SCB wrote: Everything I see refers to JDK.

You need to set %JAVA_HOME% to the installation directory of JDK, Not JRE. The JDK is installed in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05 by default.

RE: Tomcat will not run JSPs
Ok, start over. Uninstall Tomcat. Grab the .zip file distribution and extract it to a directory *without spaces*. Now, change the value of CATALINA_HOME to the new location of Tomcat. Reboot. The reboot is sometimes not necessary, but many times it is in order for your environment variables to be recognized. Just be safe and reboot. Now you are ready to run. The question is, which way are you running it? I suggest running using the startup.bat file. You can create a shortcut to this on your desktop (same with shutdown.bat) to make things easier. Since you seem to be a relative newbie to Tomcat (and possibly to programming???), I don't suggest trying to set up the windows service, especially since the service.bat currently doesn't include tools.jar in the classpath and will cause JSP not to compile. Why this hasn't been changed by the Tomcat developers is beyond me. I've reported it many a time and it is simply ignored. Baffling! Anyway, you should be set to go. Seriously, Tomcat is one of the simplest apps out there to set up. If you are having trouble, you might want to take a class of some sort to get up to speed on some of this rather than banging your head against the wall for as long as you have been.

Of course it will not work! First, I believe the environment variables need to be CAPITALIZED, as in %JAVA_HOME% and %CATALINA_HOME%. Second, your %CATALINA_HOME% is pointing to the wrong place.
