Well, it sounds like you have several problems but it is hard to diagnose with the information supplied.
What is an 'X' database? Are you using a JDBC driver to connect to it? The IOException about the LOG/BAN files is not a Tomcat message. Is your servlet trying to do some sort of logging? The message /proj_GR:running:0 in the manager app tells you that the servlet is loaded. The 0 means there are no active sessions. -----Original Message----- From: Nagpal, Vikas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 9:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: REPOST:Connection refused problem Hi Everybody, We are trying to connect with our 'X' database with the help of servlets. We are using the socket connection to the server and try to match the sequence we paste in our User Interface and correspondingly generate the graph of the matched sequence. But somehow we not able to connect with the database. It flashes the following error message: Error in JCS:: java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused: connect Besides we have an IOEXCEPTION generated: cannot close the LOG/BAN files " java.io.IOEXCEPTION " stream closed. Where JCS is the server we have generated ourselves to connect to the 'X' database.I am pretty certain that the EXCEPTION in the servlet code is causing the ERROR. We are not able to DEBUG this EXCEPTION. Can anyone DEBUG this. Since we are serving our application using TOMCAT I would like to know what we need to do to start a new instance of our application. When we LIST after RELOADING(using the MANAGER tool) we get: /proj_GR:running:0 is the NUMBER on the right side to do anything with the instance. To resolve we have tried importing packages like java.net.* and java.io.*. Can someone DEBUG this EXCEPTION. Thanks in advance Vikas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
