Hi guys,
I am a newbie in this area, so please forgive my ignorance. I have a question
concerning the startup of Tomcat. I use windows 2000 server version and wish to
integrate Tomcat with Apache, which is already configured. I have JDK 1.3 SE
installed at c:\jdk1.3. I have downloaded the zip file of tomcat 3.2.2. After I
unzipped the package to D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2, I tried to launch Tomcat in command
window with either "tomcat start" or "tomcat run". The problem is the new window
disappears immediately if I use "tomcat start". The information I got when I use
"tomcat run" is like this:
-------------------
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\bin>tomcat run
Including all jars in D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib in your CLASSPATH.
Using CLASSPATH: D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\classes;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\s
ervlet.jar;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\parser.jar;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\
jaxp.jar;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\ant.jar;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\webse
rver.jar;D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\\lib\jasper.jar;.;;c:\jdk1.3\\lib\tools.jar
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
set search path for application classes and resources
-D<name>=<value>
set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
enable verbose output
-version print product version and exit
-showversion print product version and continue
-? -help print this help message
-X print help on non-standard options
-------------------
It seems that the command to use java is not appropriate. However, this is the exact
batch file I use from the package. I then tried to use "java
org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat" to launch it manually, but my doubt is that all the
java files have not been compiled. Anyway, I just cannot launch it and the message I
get is like this:
-------------------
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2>java org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/sta
rtup/Tomcat
-------------------
I don't think this is a problem with xml engine, because the jasper.jar and parser.jar
have already been incluced in the CLASSPATH. I looked in all the archive, mailing
list, and faq, but these is no address to this sympton. I hope someone can help me
out. Also, do I need to upgrade J2SE to J2EE? Thank you.
Best,
Jeff
