Re: AW: Classpath Woe

[hische]

Hi,

I am migrating from Tomcat 3.2.1 to 4.0b and noticed that I had to move the jar
file containing the mysql JDBC driver (used for a JDBCRealm) from
$TOMCAT_HOME/lib to $TOMCAT_HOME/bin ???
My guess is jars in lib are not added to the classpath anymore because you are
supposed to put them in the WEB-INF/lib of the webapp, but in case of a JDBC
driver I find this inconvenient. Furthermore I found several jar in
$TOMCAT_HOME/lib such as crimson.jar, jasper.jar etc.

Regards,

Wilko

Hi,

I have to disagree. Having classes12.zip at $TOMCAT_HOME/lib and then
restarting worked fine
for us.

cheers

  hi, i've been having the same problem as several others here -- tomcat
can't find my oracle jdbc drivers no matter where they're located. i placed
a copy of classes12.zip (for oracle) in every conceivable place with no luck
and finally decided tomcat doesn't like class packages if they're zipped. my
fix is to unzip and re-jar...(i.e. simply renaming the zip file didn't work,
duh)

  for oracle:

  1. unzip the original file (classes11.zip or classes12.zip) into your
$TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory. this will place two directories there: oracle
and javax. i didn't need javax so i threw it out

  2. open a shell and cd to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib

  3. jar up the oracle directory using  "jar cvf oracle.jar oracle." you can
name the jar file whatever you want.

  4. restart tomcat

  that worked for me!

  cheers
