Subject: Creating an HTML file with the correct codebase and archive
value parameters for a jar in the /WEB-INF/lib directory
Hello,
I am trying to create an HTML file which accesses classes and applets in
a jar file (demo.jar) which is in the WEB-INF/lib directory. I seem to
have problems getting it to recognise the existence of the jar file
and/or more than the first applet in the jar file. If I put the jar in
a known directory, it runs but takes about 5 minutes to load. Can
anyone tell me what the values should be for codebase and archive so
that it correctly finds the jar and classes. My HTML is as follows:
This is not ever going to work.
The servlet spec includes a requirement that no resources under "/WEB-INF"
can be requested directly by the client. For applets, that means the
.class and .jar files that you want to download must *not* be under
"/WEB-INF", because the browser will not be able to retrieve them.

RE: symlinks in WEB-INF/lib directory
Hi, >I want to use symlinks for all my jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory >of my webapp. Tomcat can't handle those symlinks. That's not part of the specification. In fact, all tomcat's required to handle is a WAR file containing your entire webapp. That tomcat allows you to deploy an exploded directory structure is just a nice bonus. >Any clues? Copy the files, don't link them. I would suggest the same for your static resources as well. Actually, to be portable and adhere to the spec, you should package your app in a war file and just deploy that.

symlinks in WEB-INF/lib directory
Hi: I want to use symlinks for all my jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my webapp. Tomcat can't handle those symlinks. My OS is RedHat 8.0 Sun JDK 1.4.1 Tomcat 4.1.12 I need to get it to work in RedHat 7.3, 8.0 and Solaris 8.0 I have not test with Solaris, anyway, I need it working in those three OS's. Any clues? For instance, do you think I should use another release of Tomcat in order to use symlinks in the WEB-INF/lib directory?

Accessing jar out of webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory
Hi, I am currently working on a project. I want to install this project under c:\root in my computer. in c:\root\servlet\servlet.jar there are my servlets. and I want to call these servlets like the following url: http://localhost/servlet/hello (there is hello.class in c:\root\servlet\servlet.jar) When I put them webapps\root\web-inf\lib it works, but now it does not. What configuration changes do I need to make? Thanks in advance Serdar BOZDAĞ Computer Engineer MobiPath Information Technologies Istanbul/TURKEY Tel : +90 212 213 4975 Fax: +90 212 213 7361
Re: Accessing jar out of webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory
The servlet spec requires that your app must look like: contextName/ (put static content here) WEB-INF/ (put web.xml here) lib/ (put your .jar libraries here) classes/ (put your standalone classes here) Also, you will need to put your "contextName" directory under tomcat's "webapps" directory, or create a entry in server.xml which points to the absolute path of the "contextName" directory and specifies what the context is called when running. For instance... Jake At 11:39 AM 7/11/2002 +0300, you wrote: >Hi, >I am currently working on a project.

RE: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
Craig, This could probably explain why I am facing this problem. Actually all the JNDI classes are in a single jar file in my WEB-INF\lib folder. But since I am running on JDK 1.3, this option would not work. When I add WEB-INF\classes and WEB-INF\lib\xxx.jar (where jndi classes are in xxx.jar) in the classpath (while calling tomcat.bat), application works smoothly. regards Paresh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Craig R.

Re: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
Alright my friend, I'm about to make your day.
There's a but with the JNDI classloader in that it doesn't delegate to its parent
classloader the task of loaded the intial context factory. This means that, while the
web-app classloader knows where your class is, the JNDI one DOESN'T and isn't asking
for any help!
Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
Keeps throwing a "ClassNotFoundException" when it tries to load my context factory.
Turns out that the JNDI classloader is broken and you need to install your own
builder. You can read the docs for more info, also check out this code snippet:
NamingManager.setInitialContextFactoryBuilder( new
InitialContextFactoryBuilder()
{
public InitialContextFactory createInitialContextFactory( Hashtable
environment )
throws NamingException
{
try
{
// Since we're the only ones using this, we can really
disregard the Hashtable.
return( (InitialContextFactory)
((Class.forName("com.sun.jndi.nis.NISCtxFactory")).newInstance()) );
}
catch(InstantiationException e)
{
NISUtils.cat.fatal("Unable to instantiate the JNDI NIS
factory, message ["+e.getMessage()+"]");
throw new NamingException(e.getMessage());
}
catch(IllegalAccessException e)
{
NISUtils.cat.fatal("Unable to access the JNDI NIS factory,
message ["+e.getMessage()+"]");
throw new NamingException(e.getMessage());
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
{
NISUtils.cat.fatal("Unable to find the JNDI NIS factory,
message ["+e.getMessage()+"]");
throw new NamingException(e.getMessage());
}
}
});
Enjoy!

thanks Rob, got the particular information : >>When you install an application into Tomcat (or any other 2.2-compatible server), the classes in the WEB-INF/classes/ >>directory, as well as all classes in JAR files found in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory, are added to the class path for your >>particular web application. Thus, if you include all of the required library classes in one of these places (be sure to >>check licenses for redistribution rights for any third party libraries you utilize), you will simplify the installation of >>your web application -- no adjustment to the system class path will be necessary. Then, the only question remaining is classes in my jar file are not being loaded for some reason. While loading the servlet, somewhere midway, the classes in WEB-INF\lib directory are not being loaded. strange isn't it? regards Paresh -Original Message- From: Rob S.

Hiya, Did you read the appdev guide? I believe it discusses the significance of the WEB-INF folder, among other things. - r On Fri, 17 Aug 2001 17:19:12 +0530 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Rob, > thanks for your reply, Rob.

RE: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
Hi Rob, thanks for your reply, Rob. I was waiting for the reply for quite a while :)). It is not specifically mentioned in the docs how the class files in WEB-INF\classes are loaded. Neither is it mentioned whether the jar file in the WEB-APP\lib folder will be automatically picked in classpath. If I do not provide anything (jar or WEB-INF\classes) from my web application folder, kind of strange problem occurs in which the servlets get loaded from WEB-INF\classes directory, but when I try to cast a particular resource from JNDI to my class ( placed in the same WEB-INF\classes folder), I get class cast exception error. Tomcat does not find the class. How can I solve this problem? paresh -Original Message- From: Rob S.

Re: WAR files and the WEB-INF/lib directory
I don't think you are missing anything. The jar files in your web apps. web-inf/lib directory can not be seen from classes loaded from outside of your web app. Someplace you are probably loading a class that does not have access to the jar files in your web app. --- "Tait, Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am working on a web publishing app and am using > Tomcat 3.2.1 with Cocoon. > My application is installed by putting the .war file > in the > tomcat_home/webapps directory and restarting Tomcat. > I am finding that any > .jar files that I include in the WEB-INF/lib > directory are not available to > my application.

WAR files and the WEB-INF/lib directory
I am working on a web publishing app and am using Tomcat 3.2.1 with Cocoon. My application is installed by putting the .war file in the tomcat_home/webapps directory and restarting Tomcat. I am finding that any .jar files that I include in the WEB-INF/lib directory are not available to my application. However, if I explicitly include them in the CLASSPATH, when tomcat starts, everything works fine. Is there some configuration that I am missing or is an entry required in the web.xml file to get Tomcat to look at the application's WEB-INF/lib directory? I want to keep some .jars that apply to a particular app out of the global environment. Thanks
RE: Jar files not found in WEB-INF/lib directory
Well, it appears that if any error is coming out due to something being unresolved, none of the .jar files are used. Once I moved yet another .class file into the .war file, the previously unfound .jar files were used.

Jar files not found in WEB-INF/lib directory
I've just started to use Tomcat. I created a .war file for my servlet and on startup of tomcat, the .war file was processed. Trying to access the servlet caused some ClassDefNotFound errors to appear. I moved the necessary .jar files to the WEB-INF/lib directory, and restarted tomcat. Unfortunately, tomcat still isn't finding the .jar files to resolve the references. I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1. Thanks for any help.
