Bug ID: 56003 Summary: tool-wrapper.bat cannot report failures. because ExceptionUtils class is not on classpath Product: Tomcat 8 Version: 8.0.0-RC10 Hardware: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com If I do something that results in an error, e.g. using Java 7u45 and running > tool-wrapper.bat foo it fails with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/util/ExceptionUtils at org.apache.catalina.startup.Tool.main(Tool.java:204) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.util.ExceptionUtils at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:425) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:358) ... 1 more The cause is that org.apache.catalina.startup.Tool depends on ExceptionUtils class that is not present in bootstrap.jar. When I do something successfully, e.g. run > digest.bat -a md5 helloworld it completes successfully. Alternatively, we can add lib/tomcat-util.jar to the classpath created by tool-wrapper{.bat|.sh} script, or add the ExceptionUtils class to bootstrap.jar. Tool class also depends on org.apache.catalina.Globals, but that only pulls in several constant strings and does not cause problems at runtime. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
