Hi, firstly, thanks for the quick response. Let me answer you last comment first re "> Out of curiosity, why would you expect an AIX port of tomcat from IBM > (or anyone else)? Tomcat is pure Java -- there's no more AIX port than> Solaris port ;)
Here's what led me to believe I need to put down the ibm SDK port http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/java-ports.cgi Also this comment "AIX SDK 1.4 - A beta version of IBM's AIX port of Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, Version 1.4.0." on IBM's website http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/nav/Java?open&c=Java+-+Developer+Kits Can I infer from your comment that I should just load the sdk directly from Sun rather than the "port" and then load tomcat 4.1.24 Thanks again, Ian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shapira, Yoav" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 3:31 PM Subject: RE: help with SEVERE: Exception starting filter Set Character Encoding > > Howdy, > > >I get the error "SEVERE: Exception starting filter Set Character > Encoding > >java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter" > when > >I start tomcat (see below). > > Do you have this class anywhere in your distribution? > > >I loaded Java 2 SDK 1.4 (port for aix from ibm website) and tomcat 5.0 > from > >apache website (no aix port available from ibm). > > Tomcat 5.x is alpha-quality.
