RE: symlinks in WEB-INF/lib directory
Hi, I want to use symlinks for all my jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my webapp. Tomcat can't handle those symlinks. That's not part of the specification. In fact, all tomcat's required to handle is a WAR file containing your entire webapp. That tomcat allows you to deploy an exploded directory structure is just a nice bonus. Any clues? Copy the files, don't link them. I would suggest the same for your static resources as well. Actually, to be portable and adhere to the spec, you should package your app in a war file and just deploy that.

symlinks in WEB-INF/lib directory
Hi: I want to use symlinks for all my jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my webapp. Tomcat can't handle those symlinks. My OS is RedHat 8.0 Sun JDK 1.4.1 Tomcat 4.1.12 I need to get it to work in RedHat 7.3, 8.0 and Solaris 8.0 I have not test with Solaris, anyway, I need it working in those three OS's. Any clues? For instance, do you think I should use another release of Tomcat in order to use symlinks in the WEB-INF/lib directory?

Re: Accessing jar out of webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory
The servlet spec requires that your app must look like: contextName/ (put static content here) WEB-INF/ (put web.xml here) lib/ (put your .jar libraries here) classes/ (put your standalone classes here) Also, you will need to put your contextName directory under tomcat's webapps directory, or create a Context entry in server.xml which points to the absolute path of the contextName directory and specifies what the context is called when running. For instance... Context path=/myapp docBase=c:\root\servlets\contextName Jake At 11:39 AM 7/11/2002 +0300, you wrote: Hi, I am currently working on a project.

RE: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
Craig, This could probably explain why I am facing this problem. Actually all the JNDI classes are in a single jar file in my WEB-INF\lib folder. But since I am running on JDK 1.3, this option would not work. When I add WEB-INF\classes and WEB-INF\lib\xxx.jar (where jndi classes are in xxx.jar) in the classpath (while calling tomcat.bat), application works smoothly. regards Paresh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Craig R.

Technically, Tomcat does not modify the CLASSPATH *environment variable*, but it does make these classes available to your application. If you think about it for a second, this makes sense -- different web apps have different sets of classes available, but there is only one CLASSPATH ... If I do not provide anything (jar or WEB-INF\classes) from my web application folder, kind of strange problem occurs in which the servlets get loaded from WEB-INF\classes directory, but when I try to cast a particular resource from JNDI to my class ( placed in the same WEB-INF\classes folder), I get class cast exception error. Tomcat does not find the class. How can I solve this problem? paresh A likely cause of this problem is the following (which is why class loaders are black magic sometimes :-). When Tomcat starts up, it creates a hierarchy of class loaders. Here's a simplified model for Tomcat 3.2.x: Java Runtime Classes | System Extensions Classloader ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/*.jar)\ | System Classloader ($CLASSPATH) | Webapp Classloader (/WEB-INF/classes, /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar) Now, when you try to create a class in a servlet (i.e. Object foo = new Foo()), you are asking the webapp class loader to load class Foo. If it's there, that's fine and dandy ... if not, it delegates upwards to see if one of the parent class loaders can find it. (That is why classes you put on the classpath are visible to all webapps in 3.2). But note -- the searching process only goes *upwards*, not *downwards*. In other words, a class that is loaded from the System Classloader (for example) cannot see *any* classes in the webapp class loader. Why does this matter to you? Because the key to your problem is most likely where the JNDI classes themselves are being loaded from. If you have jndi.jar on your CLASSPATH, they are being loaded from the System Classloader. If you're running JDK 1.3 or above, they are loaded from the Java Runtime Classes classloade. But, you're trying to reference a class that is loaded from your webapp classloader. Can you see the problem yet? A couple of approaches to try: * Move the JNDI classes into your webapp (in /WEB-INF/lib). This won't work on a JDK 1.3 or above system, though. * Move the application classes you want to cast to up into the System classloader (by putting them on the CLASSPATH, or into Tomcat's top level lib directory).

RE: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
thanks Rob, got the particular information : When you install an application into Tomcat (or any other 2.2-compatible server), the classes in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory, as well as all classes in JAR files found in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory, are added to the class path for your particular web application. Thus, if you include all of the required library classes in one of these places (be sure to check licenses for redistribution rights for any third party libraries you utilize), you will simplify the installation of your web application -- no adjustment to the system class path will be necessary.

Subject: Re: problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory
Then, the only question remaining is classes in my jar file are not
being loaded for
some reason. While loading the servlet, somewhere midway, the classes
in WEB-INF\lib
directory are not being loaded. strange isn't it?
How do you know the classes are not being loaded? What kind of error
message are you getting?
Help me help you =)

I now have *nothing* in my classpath, and my Ant scripts for all my projects happily build whatever is needed for that particular project.

It is not specifically mentioned in the docs how the class files in WEB-INF\classes are loaded. Neither is it mentioned whether the jar file in the WEB-APP\lib folder will be automatically picked in classpath. Technically, Tomcat does not modify the CLASSPATH *environment variable*, but it does make these classes available to your application. If you think about it for a second, this makes sense -- different web apps have different sets of classes available, but there is only one CLASSPATH ... If I do not provide anything (jar or WEB-INF\classes) from my web application folder, kind of strange problem occurs in which the servlets get loaded from WEB-INF\classes directory, but when I try to cast a particular resource from JNDI to my class ( placed in the same WEB-INF\classes folder), I get class cast exception error. Tomcat does not find the class. How can I solve this problem? paresh A likely cause of this problem is the following (which is why class loaders are black magic sometimes :-). When Tomcat starts up, it creates a hierarchy of class loaders. Here's a simplified model for Tomcat 3.2.x: Java Runtime Classes | System Extensions Classloader ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/*.jar)\ | System Classloader ($CLASSPATH) | Webapp Classloader (/WEB-INF/classes, /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar) Now, when you try to create a class in a servlet (i.e. Object foo = new Foo()), you are asking the webapp class loader to load class Foo. If it's there, that's fine and dandy ... if not, it delegates upwards to see if one of the parent class loaders can find it. (That is why classes you put on the classpath are visible to all webapps in 3.2). But note -- the searching process only goes *upwards*, not *downwards*. In other words, a class that is loaded from the System Classloader (for example) cannot see *any* classes in the webapp class loader. Why does this matter to you? Because the key to your problem is most likely where the JNDI classes themselves are being loaded from. If you have jndi.jar on your CLASSPATH, they are being loaded from the System Classloader. If you're running JDK 1.3 or above, they are loaded from the Java Runtime Classes classloade. But, you're trying to reference a class that is loaded from your webapp classloader. Can you see the problem yet? A couple of approaches to try: * Move the JNDI classes into your webapp (in /WEB-INF/lib). This won't work on a JDK 1.3 or above system, though. * Move the application classes you want to cast to up into the System classloader (by putting them on the CLASSPATH, or into Tomcat's top level lib directory).

problem in loading jar files in WEB-INF\lib directory

WAR files and the WEB-INF/lib directory
I am working on a web publishing app and am using Tomcat 3.2.1 with Cocoon. My application is installed by putting the .war file in the tomcat_home/webapps directory and restarting Tomcat. I am finding that any .jar files that I include in the WEB-INF/lib directory are not available to my application. However, if I explicitly include them in the CLASSPATH, when tomcat starts, everything works fine. Is there some configuration that I am missing or is an entry required in the web.xml file to get Tomcat to look at the application's WEB-INF/lib directory? I want to keep some .jars that apply to a particular app out of the global environment. Thanks
Re: WAR files and the WEB-INF/lib directory
I don't think you are missing anything. The jar files in your web apps. web-inf/lib directory can not be seen from classes loaded from outside of your web app. Someplace you are probably loading a class that does not have access to the jar files in your web app. --- Tait, Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am working on a web publishing app and am using Tomcat 3.2.1 with Cocoon.

Jar files not found in WEB-INF/lib directory
I've just started to use Tomcat. I created a .war file for my servlet and on startup of tomcat, the .war file was processed. Trying to access the servlet caused some ClassDefNotFound errors to appear. I moved the necessary .jar files to the WEB-INF/lib directory, and restarted tomcat. Unfortunately, tomcat still isn't finding the .jar files to resolve the references. I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1. Thanks for any help.
