I suspect that there's a change in the way we should be deploying the application in Tomcat 5.5. What worked for Tomcat 4.X doesn't seem to work with Tomcat 5.5.

Hi Charles, Thanks for your reply. We have followed the same procedure to deploy the application in Tomcat 5.5 as we did in Tomcat 4.X. The application worked properly in Tomcat 4.X i.e. The application jar was in the classpath as set in the TOMCAT/bin/setclasspath.sh. Here's the entry in server.xml pointing to the appBase: <Host name="localhost" appBase="/home/redhot/redhot1.25/redhotdata/web" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> Also, I have added the jar in <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/setclasspath.sh. What's the alternative way to deploy the application as a jar file in Tomcat?

Not possible; appBase defines where the default webapps directory. Do you mean docBase? > The application is bundled as a jar & included in the > classpath. A fatal error. To repeat: never, never put things on Tomcat's classpath. Do not use the CLASSPATH variable under any circumstances, and do not add webapp jars to the command line -cp parameter. Tomcat has a well-defined and well-documented classloader mechanism; use it: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
