Re: Cannot install Axis - Pls. help.

[Jeff]

Good for you, Gila.   This sort of thing happens far too often and far too often we don't really have a good account of the original problem, we are just so pleased to get things going.     Jeff   ----- Original Message ----- From: Gila Cohen To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 9:49 AM Subject: Re: Cannot install Axis - Pls. help. well, listen to this. I formatted my PC (not because of the axis problem!), reinstalled the same versions of Tomcat + Apache, but used a higher version of Java (4.1.2 instead of 4.1.0), and then I installed axis just as before, and poof, it works. My main web application is not working yet properly - It could be that I'll have the same problem as soon it does. I'll find out in a day or two, and I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the info aout the classpath. Yes, I am aware of this kind of classpath problems... being once a young Java developer! Thanks, GC At 03:06 PM 6/6/2005, you wrote: I didn't precisely say "global problem with the class path" and I sort of guessed that you would be a Java developer. I was simply bringing your attention to the fact that countless developer-years have been lost due to people dealing with class path problems. Your current problem seems to be such a problem.   By moving JAR files from C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib to  C:\Apache\Tomcat4\common\lib you should be giving them greater exposure so more things should work. In reality you might get versioning problems between different web applications but not under a simple configuration.   Did you overwrite any JAR files when you moved to JAR files to C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib ?     Jeff     ----- Original Message ----- From: Gila Cohen To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:54 AM Subject: Re: Cannot install Axis - Pls. help. Jeff, Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by saying there is a global problem with the class path? I am a java programmer, can you please give me some more information? looks like I have to know this stuff.... I tried your advice - and it got worse: now I cannot run any other web application! Could that be the logging jars from axis are disturbing the logging jars of my existing applications? Here is what I get when I try to open an existing web app: Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_jk2/2.0.4 Server at gulistan.bot.huji.ac.il Port 80 And in the error log of tomcat: Created catalinaLoader in: C:\Apache\Tomcat4\server\lib java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException         at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)         at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)         at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)         at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324)         at org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService.init(BootstrapService.java:231)         at org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService.main(BootstrapService.java:297) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout         at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory.getInstance(Log4jFactory.java:153)         at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.getInstance(LogFactoryImpl.java:285)         at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(LogFactory.java:409)         at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.<init>(Digester.java:346)         at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.createStartDigester(Catalina.java:280)         at org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService.load(CatalinaService.java:183)         at org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService.load(CatalinaService.java:258)         ... 6 more That is - nothing else in the logs.... Thanks again for your help, GC At 20:28 05/06/2005, you wrote: Java is broken! The fact of the matter is that the one and only show-stopper problem with Java can be summed up in one term: 'class path'. It's something that some Java developers pretend doesn't exist and novices think they have licked...until they start to write more code! Unfortunately, the Sun folks think that trivia like for-each is more important than fixing the class path problem. Admittedly, it is a big problem and I suspect that the solution is going to come from someone outside of Sun setting aside a good deal of time to figure it out but until that happens, we will have to put up with this sort of insane solution... Stop Tomcat. Move  log4j-1.2.8.jar  to  <Tomcat>/common/lib  Start Tomcat and test. If you still have a problem, then repeat for commons-discovery.jar and commons-logging.jar, together. If you still have a problem, then repeat for other JARs in  <Tomcat>/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gila Cohen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <axis-user@ws.apache.org> Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 7:02 AM Subject: Re: Cannot install Axis - Pls. help. > > > Hi, > > OK, I am sending the directory structure, and as you can see, it has all > the files.
