Hi,
I'm still fighting with the same problem :
Tomcat, just out of the box, won't start and gives me a OutOfMemoryError on
startup, then dies.
Apparently, it does this while reading it's conf file.
The problem occurs with versions 3.3-b2 and 4.0-rc1.
The interresting point is that version 3.2.3, bundled with jboss 2.4.0 WORKS,
but the same version (3.2.3) bundled with jboss 2.4.1 doesn't (same error).
I read this in jboss forum, on another subject, but I thing it might be
related :
"The problem is that in Tomcat 3.x you have to put your parsers in the
classpath before everything else becouse they are no relying on system
properties to decide which parser to use. There is an explanation on how to
to this is tomcat�s archives. In Tomcat 4.x the parser loaded by Tomcat for
it�s own use does not conflict on the parser used by applications. The
problem is solved in last version of JBOSS by using system properties to
define which parser to use. I�ll look for the archives and post them later "
Sadly I'm not skilled enough to tell if this is really related...
Any idea why Tomcat won't start on my machine, except when launched with
jboss 2.4.0...
I use jdk 1.3-ppc from Blackdown on Debian Gnu-Linux-ppc.
Thanks,
Franck
