Hello again!
Arrrgggh. I'm feeling totally lost. I can't even get the mail component
from Matthew and Carsten's book byte-compiled... :-(
Just to cite some system details first: I have a Debian Woody system,
Tomcat is 4.0.3. I have the latest SDK from Blackdown.
During the past few days, I've erased and reinstalled everything that
has to do with Java, Tomcat and Cocoon many times. Cocoon is 2.1-dev,
compiled a couple of days ago from CVS.
Tomcat constructs it's own classpath, as I've understood it, but I've
got to make sure that I have the correct classpath when I compile
stuff, right?
Well, I have set it to
> echo $CLASSPATH
/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/WEB-INF/classes:/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/WEB-INF/lib:/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/classes:/var/lib/tomcat4/WEB-INF/lib:/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes:/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/lib
That should cover most of it. But when I compile:
> javac MailComponent.java
MailComponent.java:3: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Component
location: package component
import org.apache.avalon.framework.component.Component;
^
MailComponent.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Component
location: interface cxa.component.mail.MailComponent
extends Component
^
2 errors
I interprete this compile-time error to mean that it can't find
org.apache.avalon.framework.component.Component. It is natural to
assume that it has something to do with the classpath. So I go on to
look for the class, and it appears to be here:
> jar tvf
/var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/WEB-INF/lib/avalon-framework-20020627.jar |
grep Component
137 Thu Jun 27 18:40:08 CEST 2002
org/apache/avalon/framework/component/Component.class
So, even if the classpath has it's weaknesses, I should get rid of at
least _this_ error by including the classpath at the command line,
right?
I can't even get that working...:
> javac -classpath /var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/WEB-INF/lib/
MailComponent.java
MailComponent.java:3: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Component
location: package component
import org.apache.avalon.framework.component.Component;
[...snip...]
Oh well, I don't think I've ever felt this lost before. I was able to
compile a "Hello World" minimal example, though...
Best,
Kjetil
