Ok, I'm sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm new to this environment.
I've tried to find the answer elsewhere, but can't. I'm not sure if this is
a Forte, PointBase, or Tomcat issue.
I downloaded Sun's Forte IDE and worked through the first part of a tutorial
to create the CD Shopping Cart application using JSPs to access a PointBase
Db. (I'm using JDBC & SQL, not Tranparent Persistence, or JDOs.) It works
fine in the IDE, but I want to deploy it outside of the IDE in my own, stand
alone Tomcat server. The HTML and non-database JSPages work fine there too,
but when I try to run a JSP that access the PointBase Db it can't connect to
the database. Part of the error message is below:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
org/netbeans/jsptags/db/connection/ConnectionSource
Root cause:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/netbeans/jsptags/db/connection/ConnectionSource
at
org.netbeans.jsptags.db.ConnectionTag.findConnectionHandler(ConnectionTag.java:368)
at
org.netbeans.jsptags.db.ConnectionTag.otherDoStartTagOperations(ConnectionTag.java:137)
at org.netbeans.jsptags.db.ConnectionTag.doStartTag(ConnectionTag.java:228)
at
_0002fProductList_0002ejspProductList_jsp_1._jspService(_0002fProductList_0002ejspProductList
ConnectionSource is in dbtags.jar, which is in my WAR file and under
[TOMCATDIR]\webapps\CDShopCart\WEB-INF\lib. Why do I get a
NoClassDefFoundError. If it finds other org/netbeans/jsptags/db classes
(doStartTag, otherDoStartTagOperatiions, and findConnectionHandler) that are
all part of dbtags.jar, then it should find ConnectionSource. Do I have to
do something to make my Pointbase Db available to Tomcat?
I'm confused and frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
