RE: Exception starting filter Security Filter
Thanks, Volker, for all the help. I finaly got the goahead to upgrade to TC 4.1.12 from 4.0 and now everything is running smoothly. -Dan -Original Message- From: Volker Leidl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 3:14 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Exception starting filter Security Filter Hi!

RE: Exception starting filter Security Filter
Volker, thanks for the informative email. I only wish I could upgrade to 4.1 and solve this problem. Hopefully we'll be ready to do that soon. In the meantime, you suggest that my commons-logging.jar might be in the wrong place. What would be the right place? I've tried quite a few combinations but to no avail.

Thanks for the response, Charlie, but it appears our problems are actuall different. I went ahead and tried the solutions prescribed to Volker but to no avail. It appears, by looking at the local_host log, that the package is being found, and the classes loaded no problem. The only thing that is different between my webapps where an exception is not throw and is thrown is that the ones that don't throw the exception are a part of the original tomcat install and the ones that do throw the exception reside within additional tomcat instances, using the CATALINA_BASE env. variable. -Dan -Original Message- From: Cox, Charlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 3:38 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Exception starting filter Security Filter someone else had this problem a last week. http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg68531.html Charlie -Original Message- From: Dan Payne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 1:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Exception starting filter Security Filter I'm using TC 4.0.4, j2sdk1.4.0_01 and the securityfilter from sourceforge.net, which is a pseudo container managed JDBC/MySQL security realm. it's all running on win2000. i've also upgraded my commons-logging to 1.0.2 to see if that helps, but to no avail (although it did change the stack trace). Here's the problem: it works fine when i deploy it in %CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ROOT, but if i try to deploy any app in a tomcat instance, for example %CATALINA_BASE\webapps\ROOT, an exception is thrown when I try to boot up the tomcat instance. It apears in the localhost log, whose excerpt follows: (additionaly, it may be a problem with the commons-logging. if anyone can tell, please let me know and i'll readress the issue with the appropriate party) Thanks, all. -Dan 2002-10-09 12:16:34 WebappLoader[/manager]: Deploying class repositories to work directory C:\contexts\sotx\work\Standalone\localhost\manager 2002-10-09 12:16:34 StandardManager[/manager]: Seeding random number generator class java.security.SecureRandom 2002-10-09 12:16:34 StandardManager[/manager]: Seeding of random number generator has been completed 2002-10-09 12:16:34 ContextConfig[/manager]: Added certificates - request attribute Valve 2002-10-09 12:16:34 ContextConfig[/manager]: Configured an authenticator for method BASIC 2002-10-09 12:16:35 StandardWrapper[/manager:default]: Loading container servlet default 2002-10-09 12:16:35 default: init 2002-10-09 12:16:35 StandardWrapper[/manager:invoker]: Loading container servlet invoker 2002-10-09 12:16:35 invoker: init 2002-10-09 12:16:35 jsp: init 2002-10-09 12:16:35 WebappLoader[]: Deploying class repositories to work directory C:\contexts\sotx\work\Standalone\localhost\_ 2002-10-09 12:16:35 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/adrotate.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\adrotate.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:35 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/catalina.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\catalina.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:36 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/commons-beanutils.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\commons-beanutils.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:36 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/commons-collections.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\commons-collections.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:36 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/commons-digester.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\commons-digester.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:36 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\commons-logging.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:36 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/dbtags.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\dbtags.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/jakarta-oro.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\jakarta-oro.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/jakarta-regexp.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\jakarta-regexp.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/mailer.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\mailer.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/pager-taglib.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\pager-taglib.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/securityfilter.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\securityfilter.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:37 WebappLoader[]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar to C:\contexts\sotx\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\struts.jar 2002-10-09 12:16:38 WebappLoader[]: Reloading checks are enabled for this Context 2002-10-09 12:16:38 StandardManager[]: Seeding random number generator class java.security.SecureRandom 2002-10-09 12:16:38 StandardManager[]: Seeding of random number generator has been completed
