Another update. I added the log4j.properties to tomcat and am now able to watch it initialize the repository; there are no errors during the process. Unfortunately, none of the jackrabbit code seems to be executed when I try to get the BindableRepository from the context. I'm assuming at this point its a Tomcat configuration issue, because I've tried a fair number of configurations (embedded-model-1, shared-model-2, both, defined in global context, defined in local context, defined in server.xml, etc.) and am no closer to a solution. I've posted to the Tomcat's users for help, but if anyone here has a spare cycle to point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

In the most recent trial (embedded repository defined in servlet.xml) I'm able to get an Integer value stored in the context, but when I try to get the jackrabbit repository, I get a class not found exception on BindableRepositoryFactory. This is despite having the jackrabbit jar file in both the webapp's WEB-INF/lib/ and Tomcat's server/lib/.

Nope. There's no errors in any of the log files. I tried moving Jackrabbit jar files (and dependencies) to server/lib (they had all been in common/lib) leaving only jcr-1.0.jar in common/lib ... restarted Tomcat ... no change in results.

I know Jackrabbit is being initialized because, over the weekend, as soon as I'd put all the dependencies into common/lib I stopped getting exceptions during Tomcat's initialization and the repository got initialized (the local file system and the database tables). That's when I started writing the servlet.

The only mention of Jackrabbit in the catalina.out file is at the very start of Tomcat's initialization, I get these lines:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I'd worry about the log4j configuration but the exception doesn't show any Jackrabbit code in the stack... its mostly tomcat, catalina, and naming packages, with a few calls to java/javax code and my doGet() servlet function.

Do you have some errors showing up in the Tomcat error log? One
possible cause for this problem is that you don't have the Jackrabbit
jar files in the correct place. A safe alternative is to just put all
the jars in common/lib, but a more correct way would be to put only
the jcr-1.0.jar in the common class loader and the Jackrabbit jar file
(and the dependencies) in the server class loader.
