I know this is the Struts mailing list but replies are nice and quick here that i'm gonna post my query to you guys (and gals)
Tomcat keeps on throwing LifeCycle exception errors and produces this error in the log file: 2004-02-02 17:54:57 StandardManager[/ApplicationName] IOException while loading persisted sessions: java.io.EOFException java.io.EOFException at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.peekByte(ObjectInputStream.java:2423) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.skipCustomData(ObjectInputStream.java:1783) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readNonProxyDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1509) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1425) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:1616) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1264) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:322) at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.readObject(StandardSession.java:1369) at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.readObjectData(StandardSession.java:864) at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager.load(StandardManager.java:440) at org.apache.catalina.session.StandardManager.start(StandardManager.java:655) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.reload(StandardContext.java:2572) at org.apache.catalina.servlets.ManagerServlet.reload(ManagerServlet.java:802) at org.apache.catalina.servlets.HTMLManagerServlet.reload(HTMLManagerServlet.java:501) at org.apache.catalina.servlets.HTMLManagerServlet.doGet(HTMLManagerServlet.java:151) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:247) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:193) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:256) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:551) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.invoke(StandardContext.java:2415) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:180) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.invoke(ErrorDispatcherValve.java:171) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:172) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:174) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:223) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:594) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:392) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:565) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:619) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) I'm guessing that this is because there are some non-serialized objects trying to be persisted in the session but its not allowing it because these objects are non serializable. Of course i could be completely wrong, which i probably am :-� Anybody have an idea what this error could be? It's causing problems because the exception tomcat is throwing is saying that there is a LifeCycle exception and that the path '/ApplicationName' has already been started, even though it clearly is not running. Any help would be great cheers claire :)
