Re: Does tomcat undestant static classes?

[Arnaud Dostes - NTI]

Yeah I get that one too, i think it's a pretty funny message, don't you ? I get it when updating a servlet or jsp and hiting refresh in my browser I work around it by restarting tomcat but if someone could explain why it happens, it'd be nice   Cheers, AD ----- Original Message ----- From: Egidijus Drobavicius To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 3:49 PM Subject: Does tomcat undestant static classes? I use one class as a collection of data items, such as public static final String tmpDir="/u/somedir" When I use this under W2000, it works. Under UNIX (SCO 506) i get   java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't happen - classname is null, who added this ? at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.loadServlet(ServletWrapper.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.init(ServletWrapper.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.handleStatus(ContextManager.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java, Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java, Compiled Code)   Could anyone explain what is this?   Thanks a lot   Egidijus Drobavicius AB Vilniaus Bankas http://www.vb.lt tel. + 370 2 682706
