Worst case, just rip out JDBCRealm.class from server/lib/catalina.jar (in 4.1.30) and place it into the server/classes dir (in the correct nested directory)

Hi Tim,
Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm running 4.1.29. I didn't see 4.1.30 on the Tomcat downloads page but I do see a 4.1.30-alpha dated 25-Jan-2004 on the downloads site. Also, I need to continue this in Tomcat-4 for now rather than 5.
I'll be moving to production soon so I'm a bit leery of anything with "alpha" in the name. I can try it and put 4.1.29 back if there's a problem. Thanks for the info!

Subject: Re: Starting tomcat when the DB is down
Which version? I thought 4.1.30 was patched to allow tomcat to start up
even if the database realm connect failed.

Hi Folks,
I am using SQL Server 2000 via the JDBC realm with forms authentication. If the database is down when tomcat starts there is an
unhandled LifecycleException generated and tomcat quits. I have the code in place in my login.jsp to generate a "please try again later" style message (or whatever other message I choose) if the database goes down after Tomcat starts. However, I want to avoid a "Cannot find
server" error if the database isn't up.
If there's a problem with the database I want the alternative to just having the site be down because Tomcat won't start. Not all of the site is actually part of the protected content and I want the unprotected content still available if the DB is down.
Is there supposed to be any way to allow tomcat to start even with an unreachable database configured? If this is the expected behavior and is unavoidable then I guess I'll just live with it. Hopefully it doesn't happen enough to be an issue. :-)
