Yes this is java bug 4776385, which will never be fixed. See: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4776385.html
Code compiled with Java 1.4 (like Tomcat) doesn't work with standard Java 1.2 To fix this you need to do either: - Install a newer JVM, 1.3 or higher. Why are you using such and old JVM anyway? - Install the Hotspot 2.0 for Java 1.2 http://java.sun.com/products/hotspot/2.0/download.html - Kristjan "Horst Behrendt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 02.04.2003 11:16:17: > Sorry I am a newbie to tomcat and because i heard so much good thinks > about it i am trying to get it up and running. > > Unfortunately i have to install it (tomcat4.1.24) on WIN NT with jvm1.2. > When i now use "catalina run" form the cmd in the installation directory > i get the following message: > > Bootstrap: Class loader creation threw exception > java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: current thread not owner > at > org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.addRepositoryInternal(Sta > ndardClassLoader.java, Compiled Code) > at > org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.<init>(StandardClassLoade > r.java, Compiled Code) > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader(ClassLo > aderFactory.java, Compiled Code) > at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java, > Compiled Code) > > > Can anyone tell me what is probably wrong?.
