Hi all,
I'm new to this list, and I'm having a problem configuring Cactus
to work with Resin. I apologize if this is an obvious problem, but
from my reading of the docs, I was a little unclear on how things
worked.
I'm using Cactus 1.0, Resin 1.2.3, and Sun's 1.3.1 JVM running on
Redhat 6.2. I'm also using Apache and mod_caucho as a front end
to Resin. (I tried Cactus 1.1, but that didn't change anything).
My application is not using WARs or web.xml; instead, all my classes
are simply located in the server application directory, which is
set by resin's <http-server><app-dir> tags in resin.conf.
Up until recently, I've had everything working just fine. However,
Resin did not notice when I changed .class files, and I needed to
stop and restart Resin every time something changed. It turned out
that this was because the above directory was listed in my CLASSPATH
as well as resin's <http-server><app-dir> parameter. Taking the
directory out of the classpath solved the problem, which makes sense,
because Resin was treating it as a system class.
Unfortunately, this caused Cactus to stop working. It fails with
java.lang.ClassNotFound exceptions, like the following:
% java atlantes.command.TestUpdatePassword
TestUpdatePassword:
1..2
not ok 1 testNoParams(atlantes.command.TestUpdatePassword)
There were 2 errors:
1) testNoParams(atlantes.command.TestUpdatePassword)
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: atlantes.command.TestUpdatePassword

>From reading the cactus documentation, it seems as though having the
test classes be in <app-dir> but not the actual CLASSPATH environment
variable should be sufficient. The directory is in my
client-side CLASSPATH, but I would think that that is irrelevant, since
the request is obviously getting to the server. Also that cactus.properties is
in <app-dir>, but not CLASSPATH.
However, from looking at the stack trace, I'm guessing that cactus is using
the java class loader and not the caucho class loader, and so it won't know
about the <app-dir> location. I could be wrong, obviously.
Surely this should work, and I'm just missing something obvious, but what?
Thanks in advance,
