Thanks Matt. Can anyone shed more light on "the appropriate tools.jar" file? Where does this come from and why is it necessary? Some people's openBD installations work without it?
Well, OpenBD runs fine without it *except* for webservices. I actually don't know the why behind this so maybe Alan or Andy (or someone else) can shed some light on that.
The appropriate tools.jar just means you'd want to use the one that comes from the JDK that your servlet engine is using. So for example if you're on Tomcat and using JDK 1.6.0_14, you'd want to grab that tools.jar. Honestly the version may not even matter but it's always good to be consistent.
Googling didn't turn up a download link or anything. I searched my local drive and found a copy of tools.jar under one of my old Adobe ColdFusion installations. I copied that to my Tomcat/lib directory and that fixed the problem.
If that fixes the problem then version may really not matter, but realize that every JDK comes with tools.jar in its lib directory. It's kind of the "main" JAR file of the JDK.
But my search also turned up a tools.jar file under a deployed cfusion directory (from an Adobe cfusion.war file) thats half the size of the other one. So there are obviously very different versions of this file out there.
Right, hence why I'd use the one from the JDK that you have your servlet container pointed to. ColdFusion ships with an old JDK.
