There is something going on which defies an explanation with my limited knowledge...
Let me start at the beginning.
Working on a proof of concept using Apache and JSERV latest versions i got it all up and running without any problems. (Currently under windows '98 although final operation will be under LINUX ).
I added webmacro poolman mysql also without too many problem.
Now all this under JVM 1.1 & JDK1.1
The test applications from jserv, poolman and webmacro all worked fine.
Then i decided to try out java 1.2 and even 1.3
The following strange results were obtained:
1)Any module previously compiled under 1.1 worked as before
2)ALL modules that were recompiled under 1.2 or 1.3 get the message
'NoClassDefFound' (with no further information.)
To keep things simple the there is a single servlet zone and all other relevant pieces have not changed.
It is clear that these test applications must be seen so there must be a failure in actually loading them but surely not a class missing.
Two things sprung to mind:
1. It could be a security problem - but this should manifest itself
in another way?
2. It is a classloader problem? - but i have no idea how this works
in JSERV.
Perhaps my analysis is entirely wrong. Is there someone out there kind
enough to put me on the right track?
If i'm lucky someone else has experienced the same problem and solved
it!
Regards,
Dave.
