RE: Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
I remember Craig McClanahan addressing the issue of Struts and Tomcat 4.0. As some of you might not know he is a primary developer for both projects. Here is what he said: The only thing you need to do is make sure an XML parser is visible to your webapps -- either copy the JAXP jar files (or Xerces) into $CATALINA_HOME/lib, or into your web app's /WEB-INF/lib, and you're all set. My choice would be to put them in the $CATALINA_HOME/lib unless you have web apps that need to use different parsers. refer to: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg13921.html
RE: Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
I just installed Tomcat4.0-b7 and have the examples
working. I tried running my webapp that ran fine
under Tomcat3.2 and it gives me these errors when
Tomcat starts:
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0-b7

When I try to hit the webapp root, I get the
following:
A Servlet Exception Has Occurred

I tried adding the struts-examples by sticking the
.WAR files in the webapps directory and it gave me the
exact same 'register' messages when I restarted
Tomcat. Is this another XML parsing issue?
I have jaxp.jar and crimson.jar in
CATALINA_HOME/server/lib, CATALINA_HOME/jasper, and
JAVA_HOME/lib/jaxp-1.1. Getting rid of the files in
one in JAVA_HOME didn't fix anything.

moving files around for
a long time it seemed to me that the jar files from

files from the JAXP 1.1 download, don't work
correctly with Catalina b5 or
b7.
By the way, the files are slightly different sizes.
When I tried to follow
up on the Security Exception, it came up with
something about different
certificates being used to sign the classes. I don't
know if this is
relevant.

I had this same problem when putting crimson.jar and
jaxp.jar from my own
JAXP 1.1 installation. I solved it by using the
crimson.jar and jaxp.jar
from the %CATALINA%/jasper subdir.
Sure looks the same like WIndows DLL hell to me

So the problem was that the Struts example
wouldn't load in Tomcat4.0 B7
because it didn't have a parser or the jaxp.jar.
Someone
suggested putting
a parser and jaxp.jar in the CATALINA_HOME/lib
directory. This worked for
me. But a post from the tomcat list suggested
putting them in the
web-inf/lib directory. Indeed this latter method
should work and seems a
better solution to me:
Craig McClanahan posts:
the order in which Tomcat 4 looks for classes to
load.
- /WEB-INF/classes
- /WEB-INF/lib (undefined order of JAR files)
- $CATALINA_HOME/classes
- $CATALINA_HOME/lib (undefined order of JAR
files)
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (undefined order of
JAR files)
So I put crimson.jar JAXP in the WEB-INF/lib
directory. It's
not loading
properly, it throws a sealing violation. The
classloader isn't having it.
Not sure why this is happening. Anyone?

This is more a question for the Tomcat list, but
since it came up below,
what is the best practice for including needed
libraries and
implementations (such as crimson.jar jaxp.jar)
in Catalina? While Ian's
suggestion below moves these from /jasper to /lib,
I found the struts
example also works in B7 by putting jaxp and
crimson in /common/lib and
leaving them in jasper. Can someone point me to
where I can discern the
differences between the different lib directories
in Catalina?
