Hi,
Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I
tried to install apache and test the SampleServlet
(servlet_example1) with TomCat-4.0.3 following instructions
provided in the servlet_example1 directory. It didn't go
as smoothly as could be hoped for in that:
it didn't describe setting up the web.xml file
once that was set up (and this is perhaps more a
problem with TomCat docs) following the example
provided in
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/appdev/web.xml.txt
I found I needed the commons-collections.jar.. no problem.
I vaguely recall seeing that dependency mentioned somewhere in
the tomcat docs (though not those included with the distribution).
Slightly more troubling was that I ended up getting the
error:
002-03-15 16:44:06 StandardContext[/velexample]: Servlet /velexample
threw load() exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet
SampleServlet threw exception

----- Root Cause -----
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:130)
at
org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.LogManager.createLogSystem(LogManager.java:104)
which apparenlty requires LogKit. (log4j is in the classpath, that
doesn't seem to satisfy it).
Daniel Rall mentioned that velocity should not need LogKit anymore,
so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Actually, it looks like
if you copy velocity-dep-1.2.jar into the classpath, it solves that
problem. So maybe mentioning that (and the web.xml thing) in the
sample_servlet docs would be enough.
Anyway, minor caveat. Nice product.
Thanks,
-Chris
