Greetings,
I have installed TOMCAT 3.2.1 in the past with no problems. However,
now I have a problem that has got the best of me for the past few days
now. I am at my wits end. I am getting an error when ever I access one
of the JSP examples that install with the Tomcat Package. Here is an
example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
URL: http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/snp/snoop.jsp
This is the message I get in the browser:
Error: 500
Location: /examples/jsp/snp/snoop.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletException: method
getRootCause()Ljava/lang/Throwable; not found

at
org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498)

Notice it appears that getRootCause() is missing from
javax.servlet.ServletException. How can I prove this is not true?
Also notice that the message in the log file is totally different
(see below):
This is the message that can be found in jasper.log:

Notice it appears that getResourceAsStream() is missing from
javax.servlet.ServletContext. How can I prove this is not true? Which
message is the reliable one? The message I get in the browser or
the message I get in the log file?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the same thing for all JSP pages that ship with the package. Again
the package is untouched! I just untared it and started it up using
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh. Here is what my machine's environment and
makeup looks like:
RedHat Linux 7.0
kernal 2.2.17
Jakarta-Tomcat-3.2.1
installed in: /etc/httpd/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1
symbolic link: /etc/httpd/tomcat/current ->
/etc/httpd/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1
Currently running in "Stand-Alone" mode. Want to get that working
before I hook it up to Apache.
* Yes, I have tried getting rid of the symbolic link, that makes
no difference.
I start and stop the application as root. Here is my environment:
PWD=/etc/httpd/tomcat
USER=root
MACHTYPE=i386-redhat-linux-gnu
INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
BASH_ENV=/root/.bashrc
EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico
LANG=en_US
TOMCAT_HOME=/etc/httpd/tomcat/current
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/bin/jdk1.2.2/
LOGNAME=root
SHLVL=1
SHELL=/bin/bash
USERNAME=root
HOSTTYPE=i386
OSTYPE=linux-gnu
HOME=/root
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:.:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lo
cal/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
_=/usr/bin/env
Here is the environment when Tomcat starts:
[13:01:14] root> tomcat.sh env
Setting classpath to:
/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/ant.jar:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/jasper.j
ar:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/jaxp.jar:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/pars
er.jar:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/servlet.jar:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/l
ib/test:/etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/webserver.jar:/usr/local/bin/jdk1.2.2/
/lib/tools.jar
* All paths referenced in this classpath are valid.
Please let me know if you have any ideas that I can try. Here is a list
of what has been suggested, or what I have tried already:
1. I installed the new Tomcat 4.0 beta 1 and most of the JSP examples
worked there. I could not get a newly created context type to work
though. It kept giving me a 503 error. There is little to no
documentation for this yet, so I gave up on it. I don't want to run
a beta anyhow.
2. I tried using Jdk1.3. This yielded other errors. After further
investigation I learned that Tomcat 3.2x does not run nicely
with Jdk1.3 and they suggest using jdk1.2.2. I have always used
Jdk1.2.2 in the past with my successful installs, so I guess for
now I'll settle. BTW: Tomcat 4.0 beta 1 ran nicely with Jdk1.3
3. I tried replacing the servlet.jar in /etc/httpd/tomcat/current/lib/
with the latest release from
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html.
This again made no difference.
Anything else that someone could suggest would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for your time...
