(i know it's not easy). I recently upgraded 5 applications from 4.1.36 to 5.5.23 and it was relatively smooth. The best advice I can give you is: 1. Move any <Realm> and/or <DataSource> elements from server.xml to [yourwebapp]/META-INF/context.xml (yes, that's META-INF, not WEB-INF) 2. Throw out your old server.xml. Start again with the one that ships with Tomcat 5.5 and customize it to meet your needs. You may find that, after doing #1 above that you no longer need any customizations to the server.xml file. 3. Throw out servlet-api.jar and servlet.jar from your application. Tomcat will ignore them at best (which I think is the case) and fail at worst. > commons-beanutils.jar > commons-collections-2.1.jar > commons-dbcp-1.1.jar > commons-digester.jar > commons-logging.jar You might want to check that you have the most recent (compatible) versions of these libraries. I know that some of them have newer versions. I wouldn't do this until after you have TC 5.5 working, though. > mysql-connector-java-3.0.9-stable-bin.jar Latest MySQL connector is 5.0.something (I have 5.0.7 right now). I strongly recommend upgrading after you get everything else working. Note that from 3.0 to 5.0 a lot of JDBC spec stuff was fixed (MySQL had not been compliant in several instances) so some behavior has changed (for instance, inserting more data than will fit into a character column now throws an exception instead of issuing a warning). Check the docs to see how to deal with these changes. In most cases, you can configure the JDBC driver to revert to the old (non-JDBC-compliant) behavior. > but i cannot use:javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport > and also javax.servlet.jsp.JspException is not available. Do you have a problem compiling, or a problem deploying? Can you post a full stack trace of the first error you encounter? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHJ1Hs9CaO5/Lv0PARAlJiAKC4qUzX3yago9BSc04tE03h7k/yYQCgmElL z/Y6O2l2yvLSkWp8zi4TtVA= =8jqv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
