Hi,
I know this is probably an FAQ but searching the archives I couldn't find any answer.
(BTW, I think the search routine on the mikal.org site is broken as I typed in
"sdfkjlkersdfualsusdfl" and it returned it's standard 20 items... it's doubtful that
"sdfkjlkersdfualsusdfl" is in any of those archived emails).
If I have multiple webapps which all need to share a bunch of jars (mail.jar,
activation.jar, etc), where do I put these libraries? In older versions of Tomcat,
the /lib directory at the root of the tomcat directory worked fine without having to
put any classpath directives into the startup scripts, etc. Now when I add "any" jar
file to that directory, TC 4.0b1 refuses to start with
ContainerBase.addChild: start:
LifecycleException: start: : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: addRepository
Internal: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardLoader.start(StandardLoader.java:5
96)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1136)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:2
906)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:81
6)
etc...
errors in the log file.
Also adding jar files to the WEB-INF/lib directory causes 404 errors saying the webapp
doesn't exist. If I remove the jar files from the WEB-INF/lib directory and restart
it works again.
This is all from a stock beta1 download. I didn't change any configuration files and
haven't added anything except the test webapp directory.
Any help would be appreciated..
Cheers
mike
