Matt: I got it working, and I think I figured this out. What I believe happens is that the ClassNotFound Exception is a little misleading: the JOTM classes ARE found, but the CommonsLogging class needed by the JOTM factory is NOT. I believe we had a different version of the necessary jar in the classpath, and ultimately just needed to make sure the commons-logging.jar was "highest" in the classpath.
FYI, I did need to recompile using Java 1.6 the Carol jars (ow_carol.jar) used by JOTM in order to avoid the RMI method exception (noted by several on the JOTM list). mwaltz wrote: > > > > tmo256 wrote: >> >> The main thing is that my problem is very specifically with the >> transaction manager factory >> > I'm in *exactly* the same situation, with exactly the same environment > (Tomcat 6, JDK1.6, FC 6).
