Hi. I am using tomcat 4.1.27. I have a context defined as shown below:
<Context path="/pweb" docBase="pweb" debug="0"> <Realm className="com.silentone.phoenix.tomcat.PhoenixRealm" configFile="D:\Programs\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.2\conf\phoenixconfig.xml"/> </Context> I have created an mbeans-descriptor file for PhoenixRealm, which appears to be being read successfully: eg <mbeans-descriptors> <mbean name="PhoenixRealm" className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ClassNameMBean" description="PhoenixRealm" domain="Catalina" group="Realm" type="com.silentone.phoenix.tomcat.PhoenixRealm"> <attribute name="className" description="Fully qualified class name of the managed object" type="java.lang.String" writeable="false"/> <attribute name="configFile" description="Path of the config file" type="java.lang.String" writeable="false"/> </mbean> </mbeans-descriptors> Upon starting tomcat however, I get the following error: ServerLifecycleListener: createMBeans: MBeanException javax.management.RuntimeOperationsException: nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ObjectName cannot be null or a pattern ObjectName java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ObjectName cannot be null or a pattern ObjectName at mx4j.server.MBeanServerImpl.register (MBeanServerImpl.java:1111) at mx4j.server.MBeanServerImpl.registerImpl (MBeanServerImpl.java:1054) at mx4j.server.MBeanServerImpl.registerMBeanImpl (MBeanServerImpl.java:1002) at mx4j.server.MBeanServerImpl.registerMBean (MBeanServerImpl.java:978) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.MBeanUtils.createMBean (MBeanUtils.java:650) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:462) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:728) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:667) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:860) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:828) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.createMBeans (ServerLifecycleListener.java:372) at org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener.lifecycleEvent (ServerLifecycleListener.java:226) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent (LifecycleSupport.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start (StandardServer.java:2183) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:512) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute (Catalina.java:400) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process (Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) If I define PhoenixRealm inside the Engine container everything seems to work fine, unfortunately there are other web applications being used on this server, that need to use different authentication methods. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
