http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3589 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-09-13 22:21 ------- I tried reproducing the problem with the Embedded class itself, using the included example (the Main method), and Webwork 0.95. To summarize, it worked for me. I put all the jars in my server/lib dir, and typed: java -Dcatalina.home=D:\cvs\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build -cp jakarta-regexp- 1.2.jar;jaxp.jar;crimson.jar;catalina.jar;servlets-common.jar;servlets- cgi.jar;servlets-cgi.jar;servlets-default.jar;servlets-invoker.jar;servlets- manager.jar;servlets-snoop.jar;servlets-ssi.jar;servlets- webdav.jar;naming.jar;resources.jar;servlet.jar;bootstrap.jar;jasper- compiler.jar;jasper-runtime.jar;namingfactory.jar;tools.jar org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded In Embedded.Main, I added: Context webwork = embedded.createContext("/webwork", home + "/webapps/webwork"); host.addChild(webwork); The logs are (with a few added debug lines): <snip/> XmlMapper: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addServletMapping( *.action, action) XmlMapper: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addWelcomeFile( index.jsp) XmlMapper: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addTaglib( webwork, /WEB- INF/lib/webwork.jar) XmlMapper: Debug level: 3 XmlMapper: Validating = true ContextConfig[/webwork]: Scanning web.xml tag libraries ContextConfig[/webwork]: URI='webwork', ResourcePath='/WEB- INF/lib/webwork.jar' ContextConfig[/webwork]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/webwork.jar): Processing entry 'META-INF/taglib.tld' XmlMapper: Set locator : org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2$DocLocator@7ebe1 Resolve: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglib_1_1.dtd Using alternate DTD /javax/servlet/jsp/resources/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd ContextConfig[/webwork]: Scanning library JAR files ContextConfig[/webwork]: tldConfigJar(/WEB-INF/lib/webwork.jar): Processing entry 'META-INF/taglib.tld' XmlMapper: Set locator : org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2$DocLocator@d85f79 Resolve: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglib_1_1.dtd Using alternate DTD /javax/servlet/jsp/resources/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd ContextConfig[/webwork]: Added certificates -> request attribute Valve ContextConfig[/webwork]: Pipline Configuration: ContextConfig[/webwork]: org.apache.catalina.valves.CertificatesValve/1.0 ContextConfig[/webwork]: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve/1.0 ContextConfig[/webwork]: ====================== StandardContext[/webwork]: Configuring application event listeners <snip/> To add additional info, apply this patch to the ContextConfig source: RCS file: /home/cvs/jakarta-tomcat- 4.0/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/startup/ContextConfig.java,v retrieving revision 1.52 diff -r1.52 ContextConfig.java 1112a1113 > e.printStackTrace(); That should tell us which operation caused the problem.
