Hi All, Many moons ago, I decided to leverage some in-house Java expertise and deploy some servlets and JSPs under CF. In hindsight, this was a bad decision for many reasons, but that is another story.
The upshot is this: I'm maintaining some of the codebase, and am seeing some very perplexing behavior. The original Java files were deployed as a JAR in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Opening the JAR up, however, shows that there is no manifest and it's only the class files bundled together into an archive with a JAR extension. I am under the impression that JAR files are supposed to have manifests. I can make changes to the code in Eclipse and export as a JAR. However, it does include a manifest; however, while the CF service starts, I get the following error: Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have a mapping to process this request. If I just grab the classes and drop them into the WEB-INF/classes directory, everything works. So, here are my questions: What exactly is this existing JAR file that works with no manifest file? Why doesn't a regular JAR file made by Eclipse cause CF to crash, but the unarchived classes work fine? I'm hoping this is a n00b question that we can all laugh about. Thanks!
