Hi, I have just installed Tomcat 4.0.4 on Mac OSX (10.1) and have had a hell of a time. Firstly I had the problem with not using gnutar (documented on this list), but that was relatively simple to work around.
The big problem was with the classloaders. It proved very difficult for me to convince Tomcat that it's classes were actually present. When starting up the application I got an exception about javax.http.HttpSession not being found. I tried many ways to get the servlet.jar into the classpath (which it already was anyway) without success. In the end the only way that I could get Tomcat to start up was to copy all of the jars (common/lib & server/lib & bootstrap.jar) into /System/Framework/Java/Extensions Then everything works fine, except that the tomcat jars are now in the extensions directory, so I can't run another version of tomcat on this machine at the same time. Obviously this is not the best or even right way of getting tomcat to run. I felt very dirty doing this :) Has anyone else faced similar problems with OSX and got a solution? I am very new to OSX and this seems like pretty weird behaviour to me, I'm sure that I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Thanks, Matt --- Not dirty!
