Log4j gump

[Heikki Doeleman]

Title:

I've traced my problem to this:   our web app needs log4j.jar. However, our log4j.jar is not the same as the one used by Cactus. Specifically the class Logger is not in our log4j.jar.   The log4j.jar that comes with Cactus (log4j-gump) contains a.o. a class Logger. This class is not in the log4j.jar we're using, and neither is it in the log4j distribution on the log4j website (version 1.1.3), http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html.   Does Cactus use a modified or older version of log4j ? Or am I missing something completely here ?   Any tips welcome !

What I understand from your message is that you are indeed using Log4j but your own version that does not have the Log4j Logger class (is that an old version ?). I've just checked the nightly zip and it is slightly wrong (I have asked the persons managing the nightly builds to modify that). The log4j-gump.jar jar is simply the log4j.jar one but renamed.   The error you're getting is a class not found, which means it is *not* in your classpath or at least the correct classpath ! Don't forget there are 2 classpaths : the one from your webapp and the one from the junit test runner.   Thanks -Vincent   ----- Original Message ----- From: Heikki Doeleman To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 12:41 PM Subject: RE: Sample application in nightly build But on the Cactus web site it is stated that including log4j is optional ! In the log4j.jar that we use there is no class Logger; it is however in log4j-gump.jar that comes with the cactus distribution. I do have log4j-gump.jar in my CLASSPATH ..   Thanks Heikki -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Massol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sample application in nightly build that's probably because you've removed the log4j jar from your classpath ... :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Heikki Doeleman To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 12:36 PM Subject: RE: Sample application in nightly build Getting there though not quite yet :) I've modified CLASSPATH which I guess would solve the ServletTestResult error I got. However I still found two other references to apache.commons.cactus instead of apache.cactus (in my web.xml and redirector.jsp). I changed these to get rid of the 'commons'. The effect I'm having now is that when I try to start the web server, it says    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Category: method getInstance(Ljava/lang/String ;)Lorg/apache/log4j/Logger; not found         at org.apache.cactus.util.log.BaseLog.<init>(BaseLog.java:83)         at org.apache.cactus.util.log.LogService.getLog(LogService.java:178)         at org.apache.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector.<clinit>(ServletTestRedirector.java:89)         at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method)         at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:241)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.loadServlet(ServletWrapper.java:268)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.init(ServletWrapper.java:289)         at org.apache.tomcat.context.LoadOnStartupInterceptor.contextInit(LoadOnStartupInterceptor.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.initContext(ContextManager.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.init(ContextManager.java, Compiled Code)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.execute(Tomcat.java:195)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:235)     Any suggestions ??

It has been renamed internally to WebTestResult but you shouldn't care. If you have a problem of class not found, it simply means that you are mixing the jars from Cactus 1.1 with those from 1.2 in your classpath (either client side or server side). Thanks -Vincent ----- Original Message ----- From: Heikki Doeleman To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 11:44 AM Subject: RE: Sample application in nightly build Hi, I not only installed the newer distribution jar, but also the newer sample app, where all package names have already been updated. The funny thing is that if I do a search on files containing text or being named ServletTestResult, the only places it is found are the old commons-cactus.jar files. And neither in Cactus files nor in our web app do I find any references to the file ServletTestResult. But I do get that ClassNotFoundException ..

So try opening up the source file again that you mentioned and make the package change mentioned above and let us know what happened next. ===== Thanks.
