I have been struggling for a week now getting my application deployed on Tomcat 7. I am unable to make much progress with it and request your help. I am not very good with Tomcat. So please bear with me and request details in your solution. I can see this site being very informative.
I have Tomcat7 running. My application which was running just fine under Tomcat5 does not start under Tomcat7. I have modified setclasspath.sh with all the necessary JARs. That is what I used to do on Tomcat5. Am I not supposed to mess with this file? There is a servlet-api.jar that I find under $CATALINA_HOME/lib Tomcat itself starts fine and I see the opening page. Even my Axis comes up ok but not my application. I start Tomcat with ./startup.sh and I do not use Eclipse. The message that I get is as follows. Thanks very much for your help. Glad to provide more info if needed. *************************** > Oct 20, 2011 3:04:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase > addChildInternal > SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start: > org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component > [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/mywebapp]] > at > org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:152) > at > org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:812) > > at > org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:787) > at > org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:607) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory(HostConfig.java:1055) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories(HostConfig.java:978) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:472) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1329) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:311) > at > org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:119) > > > *********** -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Tomcat-application-startup---Lifecycleexception-tp32693089p32693089.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
