Configuring classpath in Tomcat 4.1.12

Hi,
I have an existing system which consists of JSP files and jars running on Tomcat 3.2.1 on Linux 6.1 platform. I have to upgrade it to Tomcat 4.1.12 on Red Hat Linux 8.0. However, now I am having problems in loading the jar files. Before the jars were under a different location than the Tomcat location as also the JSP files. and i used to simply run a script to load the jars on to the classpath, after i start the Tomcat server. However, now in the new system I am not being able to load the jars in the classpath. Tomcat simply won't find the jar files. How do I point Tomcat to the jar location? I would also like to mention here that I am being able to load the JSP files. In the context path, under server.xml, i am pointing the docbase to my application path. Is there any option to point to my classes also here?
I am using a similar context path as below:
<Host name="myapplication.com">
<Context path=""
debug="0"
docbase="/home/opt/myapplication/myfiles"
crossContext="true"
reloadable="true"
trusted="false"
>
Also I am not using WARs
If somebody can suggest any solution it will surely be a great help.
Thanking you in advance,
Regards,
Kaustuv Sharma

or even put links to the jar files in .../common/libhi,
so i put links to the jar files from common/lib in catalina.sh?
coz, i tried this option by editing the catalina.sh file. But I got the following exception: "Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException"
malcolmmc did u mean this?...or is there any other way where i put a link to my jar files in common/lib...?

How to Install and Configure Java and Tomcat

Hi Everybody,
I am using the following versions of java and tomcat:
JAVA: j2sdk-1_4_2_13
Tomcat: jakarta-tomcat-5.0.5
I tried to configure several times both but everytime the result is the same. I am setting the following variables:
PATH: .;D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin;D:\Tomcat 5.0\bin
CLASSPATH: .;D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\lib;D:\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
JAVA_HOME: D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13
Please correct what mistake i am doing again and again. I appreciate your effort.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu

Fine sir, I will tell evrything in detail what steps i am following during installation and configuring java and Tomcat.
1) I am using the following versions(exe) of java and tomcat:
JAVA: j2sdk-1_4_2_13-windows-i586-p
Tomcat: jakarta-tomcat-5.0.5
2) Then, i follow exactly the same variable names and values to configure java as mentioned below to make java work under User variables header:
PATH: .;D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin
CLASSPATH: .;D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\lib
JAVA_HOME: D:\j2sdk1.4.2_13
Above steps i follow only for installing java. And it also not working properly. If i run my .java file from the destination of the file then it will be execulted but if i try to execute from any other location then it doesn't, it shows the following message in the DOS prompt:
error: cannot read: Hello.java
1 error
Now, please correct what mistake i am doing.
Thanks

Configure Timeout in Tomcat

Hi,
We want to configure timeout in tomcat, but we are not able to do so by configuring the ~conf/web.xml. Our requirement is to configure http timeout to be 2 seconds.
Pl. help
ShekharA

Which timeout are you talking about? 2 seconds is very short. The HttpSession timeout can only be set in minutes.

How to configure datasources in tomcat 4.1.12 to obtain OracleResultSets

Hi!
Since my application running under both OracleAS and Tomcat 4.1.12 should obtain connection pooling i tried to configure the application servers. Our application makes use of OracleResultSet. I configured OracleAS by editing the data-sources.xml file which works very well:
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="OracleDS"
location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="scott"
password="tiger"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@testdb:1525:ORA5"
inactivity-timeout="30"
/>
The code for jndi lookup is here. It works fine when i cast ResultSet to OracleResultSet using OracleAS:
initCtx = new InitialContext();
envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
dataSource = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/OracleDS");
con = dataSource.getConnection();
ResultSet rs = con.executeQuery("..");
OracleResultSet orars = (OracleResultSet)rs;
Then i configured tomcat 4.1.12 server.xml file:
<Resource name="jdbc/OracleDS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/OracleDS">
<parameter><name>username</name><value>scott</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>password</name><value>tiger</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>driverClassName</name><value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value></parameter>
<parameter><name>url</name><value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@testdb:1525:ORA5</value></parameter>
</ResourceParams>
The same source for jndi lookup brings up a ClassCastException at line
OracleResultSet orars = (OracleResultSet)rs;
Therefore i tried to add a new parameter in tomcats server.xml:
<parameter><name>factory</name><value>com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource</value></parameter>
Now following exceptions occurs:
javax.naming.NamingException: Could not create resource factory instance, com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource
java.lang.Object org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(java.lang.Object, javax.naming.Name, javax.naming.Context, java.util.Hashtable)
I have oc4j.jar and classes12.jar in tomcats home directory under config/lib.
How should i configure tomcat to be able to use connection pooling and OracleResultSets?
Thanks in advance!

Classpath in tomcat.bat for jdbc driver (jsp page)

Dear Friends,
I am able to run my java program with Microsoft JDBC driver from console (dos prompt).
But, when i am trying to run JSP program on browser using, the same driver, it is saying classNotFoundException().
do i need to set the classpath for Microsoft jdbc driver in my tomcat.bat ?
Please help me, what changes do i have to do in tomcat.bat to run the microsoft jdbc driver for jsp application.
If anyone having idea, please share ur valuable ideas.
thanks in advance.

If the driver is packed in a jar-file, you can just place the jar in the lib directory of Tomcat. If it's not, you can pack it in a jar and do the same thing:)

I don't see any problem with your files, so unfortunately I can't help. Since this forum is about the J2EE SDK, people may not have that much experience with standalone Tomcat. You may want to try the Tomcat user mailing list for a question about Tomcat: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html

Hi,
I have same problem. But unfortunately there does not exist a solution.
You can read the explanation of this topic at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html#Non%20DBCP%20Solutions
Non DBCP Solutions. I understand Tomcat supports only MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle 8i but not DB2.
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/SmsDBDS");
Up to now everything is fine, ds is not null, but inside ds (password, url, username...) all of them are null
So when you execute conn = ds.getConnection(); there will be exception.
If you find any solution please inform me.

Urgent : How to include Win2K CLASSPATH to Tomcat 4.2

I am running a web application on Tomcat 4.1
Tomcat 4.1 uses CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME
enviroment variables and from my knowledge of the settings
it does not utilise the Win2K CLASSPATH variable.
I use a number of *.properties files to access values and variables
so I need to set the startup program of Tomcat to include CLASSPATH.
Is this possible ?
Secondly is there any other way of making the web application recognise
these property files .
Based on some suggestions I tried including the files with classes
and adding a zip file.
It works fine with Tomcat 3.2.4 as it includes CLASSPATH on startup.
Could anyone suggest the solution for this as I searched the Tomcat websites and could not find a solution.
Thanks
manosham

I looked at the Tomcat 4 startup file and it looks like it overwrites CLASSPATH in the bin/setclasspath.bat file. You can get around that by modifying that file. Look for this line near the end:
set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar... and change it to ...
set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CLASSPATH%Hope that helps :)

How to edit CLASSPATH in TOMCAT?

Hello...
How can I access my classes in my JSP file if I use Tomcat?
I have put classes12.zip in my classpath (my java console
application recognized the classes). But my JSP (through
TOMCAT) cannot recognized the classes.
Please help.
Thank you.

Tomcat generally ignores the CLASSPATH environment variable. Typically shared classes are copied to TOMCATHOME/lib (ZIPs and JARs)
I've heard from many peer developers not to use zip but to rename them to JAR. Not sure why though; I've had success using both.

Setting classpath in Tomcat on AIX

Hi All
Can any one know how to set classpath for jsf application in tomcat on AIX.

Refer to the Tomcat's documentation regarding classpaths and classloading. The underlying operating system doesn't really matter.

Setting Classpath in TomCat 5.5 for Custom Application

I seem to have messed up my application. I cant access some of my java classes written and deployed in the WEB-INF/classes directory from a JSP Page stored in my app root.
However, the fun part of this is if I create a package in WEB-INF/classes, store my java/class files in it and access these from the JSP using import, it works pretty fine. I'm unable to debug the scenario.
I've given only the context path for the application in the server.xml. I suppose that would be sufficient for my application to be deployed, and need not specify any other classpaths anywhere.
Please help me and correct me if i'm wrong.
fun_one

As of Java 1.4, if any class is in a package, then it can no longer access or import classes from the default (non) package.
As of Tomcat 5.0, all TC classes, including the translated JSP pages, are in a package. That means that they can not access your classes that are not in a package.
Your only option is the best one you should always do anyway: put all the classes in a package.

How can I add classpath in tomcat 4.0.3

I am sorry to ask a newbie question but I am really dying to know the answer.
I have tomcat4.0.3 installed and working.
I have j2ee1.3.1 install and working.
I have jboss3.0.0RC installed and working.
now I want to use a EJB in tomcat application,
the source file compile correctly.
but I type http://192.168.100.24/tomcat/servlet/FirstServlet
a ServletException throwed,tomcat complain javax.ejb.EJBHome class
cannot be founded.
I think it is a problem about classpath.but the environment variable
classpath has included j2ee.jar and when I use j2ee to develop an
web application I have never met such case.later I found a article
says tomcat4.0.3 don't use system classpath.
then I found a file named setclasspath.bat in bin directory,
and I change the line 'set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%' to
'set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar'
but the tomcat cannot startup.
how should I do.
BTW,how to get the information about tomcat fail to startup

Throw your j2ee.jar into the WEB-INF\lib directory of your web app module. The servlet should pick it up there.
