Tomcat 6.0.9 not recognizing deletion of Applet class
Hi, I have a JApplet class in my $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/mywebapp directory called applet.NVACApplet. It is part of the applet package. I load this applet through NVAC.jsp. I was making some changes to the class and recompiled. However, after reloading the webapp and making numerous changes, I began to notice the applet, when I navigated to it at http://localhost:port/mywebapp/NVAC.jsp was not changing at all. At first, I figured something was wrong with my Java code. However, that compiled fine and I was getting no errors at runtime, and the applet was apparently loading. Finding this highly unusual, I deleted the entire applet package from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/mywebapp, as well as the applet package from WEB-INF/classes. Then, I navigated to $CATALINA_HOME and did a find command, searching for NVAC*, and did not find any NVACApplet class floating around anywhere. However, when I navigate to the JSP page, it STILL loads the Applet. If I change the name of the applet it is loading I obviously get a NoClassDefFoundError, which apparently means it is somehow finding applet.NVACApplet, which makes absolutely no sense to me. I've shutdown Tomcat numerous times and rebooted. I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm completely clueless. Where on earth could it be finding this applet class? I've deleted every instance of applet.NVACApplet I could find from my entire computer. Is it storing the class in some directory somewhere? Here is the JSP page code, if it helps: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd; html titleNVAC Polling Controller/title body applet code=applet.NVACApplet width=200 height=100 Your browser does not support the applet tag. /applet % //Service.init(); % % //out.print(Service.showString()); % /body /html Thanks, Dan - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For example, let's say I change some code that will run on the servlet in a file called: MyServlet.java. What series of ant commands would I run to reflect the change? Would it be: ant undeploy ant deploy ant gui I'm just asking because it seems like 'ant undeploy' and 'ant deploy' are time-consuming to run if all I'm changing is one file. I kind of confused on how 'ant reload' is supposed to be used in the context of these files. I guess for 'ant reload' I would have to manually copy the output of javac to the tomcat folder? Does anyone have a more elegant build.xml file (or have a suggestion for creating one.) Thank you very much. A solution to this problem will no doubt save me a lot of development time. ant reload simply reloads a web application. Therefore, if you update MyFile.java and compile it to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes/MyFile.class, you can call ant reload on that specific web application to reload the web application so your changes take effect.

Re: Example of a build.xml File for Tomcat ?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. Let me just make sure I heard you right:
So I have a javac target in my build.xml file. It simply compiles code in
${source} and puts it in {$build}. You are suggesting that I point {$build}
to the Tomcat directory?
For example, since I’m on Windows, {$build} might be:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
6.0\webapps\myWebApplication\WEB-INF\classes
So lets say I’ve changed some of my servlet code. Could I then just do this
to see it reflected: ?
ant javac
ant reload
ant gui
Finally, is this the “official” (or good) way to do this? In other words,
this isn’t a “hack” or anything?
No you can keep ${build} where it is, as the javac command does not matter.
ant reload, if i recall the technical definition correctly, reloads the
context path of the web application. Therefore, rather than undeploying
your webapp and deploying it again to see the changes reflected when you
navigate to your webapp, you can call ant reload to reload the webapp
in Tomcat (yes I know it's not good practice to use the word you're
defining in the definition, but I don't know how else to put it). This
will reflect the changes.
This is certainly not a hack, it's just a custom Ant task that you can
use with Tomcat, such as ant stop, ant start, ant deploy, etc.
I have a build.xml file I'm using for my webapp that uses reload. I have
it set up so if the compilation of my .java files is successful, it will
reload the webapp so I don't have to do it manually. Here is what the
relevant part of my build.xml file looks like:
!-- Compile the .java files in the src directory and output to the
build directory --
target name=compile depends=init
!-- Compile the java code --
javac srcdir=${src} destdir=${build} /
/target
!-- Reload the web application in Apache Tomcat to process changes --
target name=reload depends=compile description=Reload web
application
reload url=${url} username=${username}
password=${password} path=${path} /
/target
Where ${url} is the URL of my manager webapp, ${username} and
${password} are the username and password for my manager webapp, and
${path} is the path of the webapp I am reloading
($CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myWebApp).
You can cause it to reload by typing:
ant reload
from the command line;
ant javac
is not needed.

Hi Dan,
Sorry if I’m being dense here, but how does the newly compiled code get into
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myWebApp?
I don’t see the part in your build.xml where the new changes (newly compiled
changes) make it to the Tomcat directory.
According to your response, ${build} can point anywhere. I mean, lets say
${build} points to: C:\temp\nowhere_of_significance. Wouldn’t this mess up
a reload? The only parameters I see in a reload are a username, password, a
manager url and path of the tomcat web app. Won’t this just reload the same
thing (without our new change.) Is there something happening under the
hood I just can't see here where the compiled code magically gets put into
the Tomcat directory?
Thanks for your patience.
Yes ${build} can point to anywhere. I have ${build} in my build.xml file
set to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes, so the newly
compiled code simply goes to that directory.
Therefore, you specify ${build} to be where you want your compiled code
to go in your webapp (most likely in the path I just showed). There is
nothing else to it; the code gets compiled to your webapp directory,
then you reload the webapp. Reload will not occur until your code is
done compiling, as there is a depends parameter for the reload target.
The reason you can call
ant reload
without calling
ant javac
is because reload depends on javac in the example I provided; it will
not happen unless javac happens. Therefore, calling
ant reload
will also cause the javac command to execute.

Ant custom tasks: how to compile .java files and restart Tomcat (Tomcat 6.0.9)?
Hi all,
I've been reading through the documentation on using custom Ant tasks
with Tomcat, but I am sorry to say that I am confused. This will most
likely turn out to be a very basic question, but I'm not sure where to
go with it.
I have a src directory for my .java files that I wish to compile to
.class files and simply store them on $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT for
now. I have a build.xml file in the src directory which I have been
using to deploy the class files to the appropriate directory.
My question is, how would I use Ant custom tasks to restart Tomcat when
I deploy the class files (please continue reading, as I will explain
where I am confused)?
Looking at the manager-howto, I see there are custom tasks for Deploy,
Reload, Start, Stop, etc that I should place in the build.xml file. I am
unsure how to use these to restart Tomcat. For example, the Reload task
looks like this:
target name=reload description=Reload web application
depends=compile
reload url=${url} username=${username} password=${password}
path=${path}/
/target
What would I specify for ${path}? In the example file provided in the howto, it
says I should specify it to be myApp. However, I am not necessarily restarting
an app; I wish to restart Tomcat.
Is it even possible to accomplish this? Did I miss something in the tutorial?
If this is not possible, is there a better way I could be doing this? The
reason I am compiling .java files and deploying them is simply to test a few
things, as I am in the process of learning JSP and Tomcat.
Thanks for any advice you can give,
Dan

Installing Tomcat 6.0.9 on Sun Solaris
Hi all, I was having some more problems with some older Tomcat installations, so I decided to upgrade to the newest release and download it fresh this time instead of using an existing build from awhile back. I've been trying to set up Tomcat 6.0.9, but I'm afraid I'm having some problems. I've been following the installation instructions in RUNNING.txt. Basically, it tells me to download the binary distribution, unpack it, make sure JDK1.5 or greater is installed, and run the server. I also need to set up a CATALINA_BASE, After downloading the binary distribution, I uncompressed it to $CATALINA_HOME. Then, I created a new directory, and set that to be $CATALINA_BASE. Then, I took the appropriate directories out of $CATALINA_HOME and put them in $CATALINA_BASE, according to RUNNING.txt. Then, I started up the server and set it to use $CATALINA_BASE with $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh -Dcatalina.base=$HOME/dtomcat. This gave me the following output: Using CATALINA_BASE: /u/dgresh/dtomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /u/dgresh/apache-tomcat-6.0.9 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /u/dgresh/dtomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06 and then gave me a command prompt. So I navigated to http://localhost:8080, and I got a connection failed error. I searched through the documentation, and found that an issue with ports might be causing the problem. I edited the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml file, and changed the server port from 8005 to 8007, and the connector port from 8080 to 8082. Then, I navigated to http://localhost:8082, and got the same connection failed error. Furthermore, I'm running into problems when I go to shutdown Tomcat. When I run $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh, I get the following output: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:215) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:390) I'm not sure what that means, even after a web search. There's one more thing that is confusing me. RUNNING.txt says that all I need to do to install Tomcat is unpack it to a directory, have JDK1.5+ installed, and startup the server. However, the setup instructions at the Tomcat website have something about running it as a UNIX daemon (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html). I'm not exactly sure if this is needed, but I tried to follow the instructions, so I downloaded the commnons-daemon file and placed the necessary files in $CATALINA_HOME/bin. However, I cannot run tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz, as the -z argument is not being recognized. The directions said GNU TAR was needed, so I searched the web for that, but I came to a confusing site that said something about FTPing the GNU TAR files, and I didn't know where to go from there. So is there simply something I missed about configuring Tomcat for proper use on my localhost? Or is this a problem with my Tomcat installation? If you could offer any advice, I'd be very appreciative.

Re: Installing Tomcat 6.0.9 on Sun Solaris
Hi thanks for the reply. I cleared my CATALINA_BASE variable so it would take on the default $CATALINA_HOME variable. I then moved my conf lib logs temp webapps work directories back into $CATALINA_HOME. Then, I used startup.sh, and it WORKED! Hooray! I can shutdown and startup the server when I do not have a $CATALINA_BASE. When I try to setup a $CATALINA_BASE by moving the aforementioned directories to $HOME/dtomcat, I get the error I posted in my original message. Is there anything I missed when setting up $CATALINA_BASE? I moved the conf, lib, logs, temp, work, and webapp directories to $CATALINA_BASE. Should I have copied them, therefore leaving a copy in $CATALINA_HOME? After that, I use startup.sh and supply the -Dcatalina.base=$HOME/dtomcat argument to startup.sh, and it says it's using the appropriate directory. However, startup.sh does not start the server apparently; I cannot connect to it from a browser, and I get the error I posted when I try to use shutdown.sh. There's obviously something I missed. Do I need to edit some files or something?

Tomcat 5.5.9 on Sun Solaris: JSP compilation error
Hi list,
Recently I upgraded Tomcat from 4.0.5 to 5.5.9, due to some unusual
problems I was experiencing with Tomcat 4.0.5. I was getting some Java
compilation errors when I used JDK1.5 features, and neither I nor the
two who replied to my message could figure out why. Upgrading was
suggested, so we upgraded to Tomcat 5.5.9.
I'm running some simple tests using some basic code that involves JDK1.5
to find out if everything can compile correctly. However, when I deploy
my index.jsp to the server and try to launch it from
http://localhost:port#, I get a compilation error that makes no sense to
me (because I know the code I have compiles correctly with javac). This
is the index.jsp file:
!doctype html public -//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en

I don't know what is wrong. I have JDK1.5.0_06 installed on the UNIX box
Tomcat is installed on, so the code should certainly be compiling.
One thing that bothers me is this:
When I use shutdown.sh or startup.sh to shutdown and startup Tomcat,
respectively, the terminal output tells me:
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06
Should this not be JAVA_HOME instead of JRE_HOME? I have a JAVA_HOME
environment variable that is set to what JRE_HOME is currently set to.
Also when I use printenv JRE_HOME, it returns nothing. Is this a problem?
Thanks for any help you can offer,

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I changed my code to use a JDK1.4 feature, assert, like this:
%
boolean s = true;
assert s;
%
and it compiled fine.
So apparently it is not compiling for JDK1.5. How would I tell it to do
so? I looked at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml, but I wasn't sure if
that was where I was supposed to make the configuration change. How
would I do so?
Thanks,
Dan

Tomcat 4.0 on UNIX: no /bin directory in $CATALINA_HOME, and JSP compilation errors
Hi list,
I'm running Tomcat 4.0.5 on UNIX and I am experiencing compilation
errors when trying to compile a simple index.jsp file, which is only
twenty lines or so, as I'm trying to learn JSP and starting small. First
however, I'd like to get this question out of the way:
I've searched the web for information on Tomcat's directory structure.
According to one page I found, Tomcat should have a /bin directory,
which contains binary executables, such as startup.sh, which I can use
to restart Tomcat. When I navigate to my Tomcat installation, I can find
no /bin directory. The only directories I have are conf, work, logs, and
webapps. I assume this is a major problem. If so, should I re-install
Tomcat (and update to Tomcat 6.0 while I'm at it)?
I believe that problem leads to my JSP compilation errors problem. After
posting my Java errors on a Java forum for JSP, a user replied that once
I set the JAVA_HOME environment variable (it was set incorrectly and I
had to set it to the proper path), I need to restart Tomcat. However,
from what I've read online, I cannot restart Tomcat without executing
the commands from the /bin directory.
I'm going to post my JSP errors if that is alright, just in case the
problem is not based on the first one. If it is, please disregard this
part, as I will revisit it later.
I have a small index.jsp file, and I have a small scriptlet in it that
sets up an ArrayListString, for some basic tests. However, when I go
to compile the file, I get an error. The relevant parts of my file are
as follows:
%@ page import=java.util.ArrayList %
%@ page contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8 language=java %
html
headtitle/title/head
body
%
ArrayListString al = new ArrayListString();
al.add(Row 1);
al.add(Row 2);
al.add(Row 3);
al.add(Row 4);
%
TABLE BORDER=2
%
for (int i = 0; i al.size(); i++) {
%
TR
TDNumber/TD
TD%=al.get(i)%/TD
/TR
%
}
%
/TABLE
/body
/html
The relevant part of the error message is:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote:
sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.
An error occurred between lines: 9 and 15 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
Generated servlet error:
/var/apache/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/_/index$jsp.java:68: '(' expected.
ArrayListString al = new ArrayListString();
Lines 9-15 are the lines in which the ArrayListString scriplet resides. I've checked my JDK version to make sure it supports generics, which it does. If this problem is not related to the first
problem, I believe there may be a problem with my CLASSPATH variable. What exactly do I have to set this variable to so Tomcat can
recognize the proper settings?
I hope this is not too much information. I will greatly appreciate any help
that can be provided.
Thanks,
Dan

When I navigate to my Tomcat installation, I can find no /bin directory. The only directories I have are conf, work, logs, and webapps. I assume this is a major problem. It might not be. How did you install Tomcat? If you used a version from a Linux distribution (you didn't specify what UNIX meant) then the installation paths can be all kinds of screwed up. If you installed it yourself from a package from apache.org then you /should/ have a bin directory as you describe. Another possibility is that you are looking at CATALINA_BASE instead of CATALINA_HOME and you are using a shared binary installation but looking at the part that should be application-specific (see RUNNING.TXT in your installation directory and read the Advanced section to understand what I'm talking about). If so, should I re-install Tomcat (and update to Tomcat 6.0 while I'm at it)? Since you are just starting out, I highly recommend getting either the latest stable version (5.5) or the latest unstable version (6.0 -- apologies to the authors if 6.0 /is/ considered stable) and start there. Unless there is a very compelling reason to stick with a version that old, I'd advise you to upgrade. The relevant part of the error message is: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated. Wow, I've never see that before. I assume that you are using a rather new version of Java (maybe JDK 1.5 or 1.6) with Tomcat 4.0. Tomcat 4.0 uses the old javac compiler and the newer ones use something else. It's possible that if you are using Java 5 (JDK 1.5) or Java 6 (JDK 1.6) that support has actually be completely removed for the old compiler invocation. An upgrade to a move recent version of Tomcat will certainly help if I have correctly identified the problem. I've checked my JDK version to make sure it supports generics, which it does. If this problem is not related to the first problem, I believe there may be a problem with my CLASSPATH variable. What exactly do I have to set this variable to so Tomcat can recognize the proper settings? You can't change the CLASSPATH used by Tomcat (well, you /can/, but there's no reason to do so). I think that your Tomcat version is killing you, here. Upgrade and try again.

Reading RUNNING.txt was very helpful, as the problem with not finding the /bin directory and a problem I experienced after I found the bin directory was due to the presence of a CATALINA_HOME and a CATALINA_BASE. I found my /bin directory in CATALINA_HOME, and used shutdown.sh to shutdown Tomcat. More on that later, as that lead to a problem. The reason I have Tomcat 4.0.5 is that my server admin is very busy and therefore won't have time to upgrade to a more recent version for awhile. So, I'm stuck with Tomcat 4.0.5 for awhile unless I have a compelling reason to upgrade. Although in the replies I have gotten upgrading is highly recommended, I want to first sort out the problem I just got after using shutdown.sh. Then once the server isn't causing me any more problems with that and if it IS causing me problems with my JSP, I will most certainly upgrade; I'm not disregarding anyones advice. Anyway, I used shutdown.sh to shutdown Tomcat. I waited for a minute, then I used startup.sh to start Tomcat again. However, when I navigate to my localhost:8080 directory to view my index.jsp page, I get the following error: Apache Tomcat/4.0.5 - HTTP Status 404 - /var/apache/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/_/index$jsp.java (Permission denied) *type* Status report *message* _/var/apache/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/_/index$jsp.java (Permission denied)_ *description* _The requested resource (/var/apache/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/_/index$jsp.java (Permission denied)) is not available._ I'm not sure what this is telling me.
