Sorry, no clue on your classes not being found but as for the LE: from the ftp directory ------------------------------------------ Apache Tomcat 4.0.2 This release of Tomcat 4.0 is available in two different packaging options:
Standard: This is a full binary distrbution of Tomcat 4, which includes all optional libraries and an XML parser (Xerces 1.4.4), and can be run on JDK 1.2+. JDK 1.4 LE: This is a lightweight binary distribution of Tomcat 4, designed to be run on JDK 1.4. It does not include any of the optional binaries or the necessary XML parser (which is included in JDK 1.4). This build can be run on JDK 1.2+ by adding an XML parser. All the components of this distribution are open source software. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Fields [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2002 9:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Classes not being found in 4.0.2 but are found in 4.0.1 (and what is LE?) Hello all, I tried to move to Tomcat 4.0.2-LE-jdk1.4 today from Tomcat 4.0.1 (both running on the new JDK 1.4). I have put several jar files in common/lib - including such standards as the postgresql.jar and cos.jar. Under 4.0.1, things work just fine. In 4.0.2 (LE-jdk1.4, which I assume is what I should use if I use JDK1.4, but it doesn't say anywhere what the differences are) I get a NoClassDefFoundError for some classes in one jar. I tried moving it from common/lib into my webapps/APPNAME/WEB-INF/lib directory, and an even worse thing happened: no classes whatsoever were found in that jar. When in WEB-INF/lib it is as if it isn't even being class loaded at all, while in common/lib, some classes are loaded and others are not - the point where the NoClassDefFoundError is thrown in common/lib is in one of the classes in that .jar, while in WEB-INF/lib, it's in my classes, on the first call to a class in that .jar. The .jar has been run through an obfuscator (or so it seems from decompiling it in trying to figure out what was going on), but works fine on 4.0.1 under both JDK 1.4 and 1.3.1_02 under Linux. Does anyone have any ideas? Also - does anyone know what the difference is between: jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2-LE-jdk14.tar.gz jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2.tar.gz A recursive diff showed many fewer files in the LE edition, presumably because they are provided if you use JDK 1.4. (Lots of changes in the doc, but that's from the dates in the javadocs being different, and lots of changes in other .jars as well.)
