Re: Problem with tomcat

[Miles Daffin]

I had a similar problem and, when I looked, the jar file containing the class you mention had been deleted. I really do not remember doing this..... it was a mystery, but easily fixed.   Miles ----- Original Message ----- From: Rahul RM Desai To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 7:35 AM Subject: Problem with tomcat Hi all,   I am facing this unusual problem. Today, I am not able to start the Tomcat v3.1(Win NT4.0). When I use the "tomcat run" option, I get the following exception :     D:\Installs\jakarta-tomcat\bin>tomcat run Using classpath: d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\classes;d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\lib\jasper.jar;d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\lib\xml.jar;d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\lib\servlet.jar;d:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar; java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.parser.Parser         at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)         at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:191)         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:290)         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)         at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)         at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:124)         at org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory.makeParser(ParserFactory.java:124)         at org.apache.tomcat.util.xml.XmlMapper.readXml(XmlMapper.java:191)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.execute(Tomcat.java:143)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:163) FATAL: configuration error java.lang.Exception: Error creating sax parser         at org.apache.tomcat.util.xml.XmlMapper.readXml(XmlMapper.java:207)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.execute(Tomcat.java:143)         at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:163)   When we tried importing the same com.sun.xml.parser.Parser in another test java file, It is properly compiling and executing. Why is the tomcat failing to locate the com.sun.xml.parser.Parser(in the xml.jar file)?The xml.jar file, as you can see is set in the classpath properly.       Note :  1. We also tried the "java -cp d:\installs\jakarta-tomcat\lib\xml.jar -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat" option, which gave the same exception.   2. We tried a fresh Installation of tomcat, which didn't help.   3. This is happening only on my machine.This was recently affected by the navidad virus, but was cleaned.   Any help regarding this problem will be appreciated.   Thanks in advance regards Rahul Desai
