I noticed a Tomcat bug that may be of interest for you developers. When using Tomcat 4.0.x, I used to set some symbolic links in my WEB-INF/lib directory. For example : WEB-INF/lib/mm.mysql.jar => /usr/java/lib/mm.mysql-xx.x/mm.mysql.jar But this won't work with Tomcat 4.1.12, which throws the following exception when deploying : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid TLD resource path /WEB-INF/lib/mm.mysql.jar at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.tldScanJar (ContextConfig.java:898) It took a while to figure out what happened, so maybe a note in RELEASE-NOTES would be usefull to many people :o) Best regards, -- Frédérik Bilhaut GREYC - Université de Caen http://www.info.unicaen.fr/~fbilhaut PS: Many thanks to Tomcat developers for such a great product PS': You'll find below the complete stack trace 2002-11-01 17:20:14 ContextConfig[/trouba] Exception processing JAR at resource path /WEB-INF/lib/mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception processing JAR at resource path /WEB-INF/lib/mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.tldScanJar(ContextConfig.java:930) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.tldScan(ContextConfig.java:868) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.start(ContextConfig.java:647) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.lifecycleEvent(ContextConfig.java:243) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3493) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:738) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:347) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:497) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2189) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:510) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:400) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) ----- Root Cause ----- java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid TLD resource path /WEB-INF/lib/mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.tldScanJar(ContextConfig.java:898) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.tldScan(ContextConfig.java:868) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.start(ContextConfig.java:647) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.lifecycleEvent(ContextConfig.java:243) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3493) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:738) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:347) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:497) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2189) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:510) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:400) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
