Hello Tomcatters,
I am at loggerheads with a webapp that I was only provided as a
closed source WAR file.
I should mention that I am not a Java Servlet/JSP or Tomcat
hacker.
When I start Tomcat it throws an exception with regard to that
webapp's listener class.
As far as I understand the term "listener" seems to be a bit of a
misnomer
as no listening socktet (which I guess is termed a "connector" in
J2EE speech) is concerned
but rather a callback method provided by some webapp derived
class.
In $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out there appears following
entry:
Apr 4, 2008 3:09:11 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Apr 4, 2008 3:09:11 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
start
SEVERE: Context [/aDISWeb] startup failed due to previous errors
...while in $CATALINA_HOME/logs/localhost.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
I can see the following exception handler trace:
Apr 4, 2008 3:09:11 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener

I verified that the aDISEngine class file is present and readable
by user tomcat
# find $CATALINA_HOME/webapps -type f -name aDISEngine.class -ls
34478 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat apache 5700 Sep 24
2007
/var/www/tomcat/current/webapps/aDISWeb/WEB-INF/classes/de/astec/
aDISWeb/aDISEngine.class
The JVM thread was started with these args:
# echo $(ps -o args= -p $(pgrep java))
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_12/bin/java -server -Dname=aDISWeb -Xms192m
-Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=64m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m

org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
>From procfs I can verify that the JVM thread was started with
correctly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# tr \\0 \\012 < /proc/$(pgrep java)/environ|grep LIB
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_12/lib/amd64/server:/usr/java/
jre1.5.0_12/lib/amd64:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_12/../lib/amd64:/usr/loc
al/lib:/var/www/apache/modules
I also tried supplying to the JVM in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh
the additional switch
-Djava.library.path=/var/www/tomcat/current/webapps/aDISWeb/WEB-I
NF/classes/de/astec/aDISWeb
But there was no difference when I started Tomcat with this
setting.
I also assume that this is redundant as all lib paths for
deployed webapps should automatically be known to the JVM,
provided that the WAR file was complying to Tomcat's/SUN's
Servlet Specifications.
When I try to HEAD the webapp's servlet's mapping
Tomcat serves me a 404.
# lwp-request -m head -S http://localhost:8081/aDISWeb/app
HEAD http://localhost:8081/aDISWeb/app --> 404 /aDISWeb/app

However, I found out that when I wrap the listener tag in a
comment
within the deployment descriptor file,
and restart tomcat,
that I then don't get the listener error (of course not ;-)
and can successfully HEAD or GET the mapping.

What can I do to make it work with the listener class enabled
though?
Have I missed something?
Faithfully
