Greetings, I have just finished installing jakarta-tomcat4 from the ports collection. Testing the servlets looks okay, however, when running the JSP examples, I get a very nicely formatted Tomcat4 error page reporting "Internal Server Error" due to exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: sun/tools/javac/Main root cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main It is quite apparent that Tomcat is not able to find tools.jar that is in $JAVA_HOME/lib/ (I checked, the tools.jar is still there). Looking carefully at Tomcat4's doc, specifically Class Loader How-To, it mentions that Catalina will ignore the system setting, CLASSPATH, but will load its classes in a very specific way. (I will not repeat it here, those interested should read http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html Now it seems that my Tomcat4 installation is not following this to the letter, and has failed to load $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar Maybe someone can point out what I am doing wrong. I can solve this problem by copying $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/tools.jar but I would like to know if anyone else has encounter this problem and how they resolve it. NOTE: you can take a peek at catalina:jsp_classpath at http://localhost:8180/examples/servlet/SnoopServlet assuming default installation with examples mine doesn't contain bootstrap.jar or tools.jar Regards, /calvin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
