Class Not Found in j2ee

Question

Hi,
I'm able to build the Converter example, run the DeployTool, etc. But when I run the j2ee server, I get the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/corba/se/internal/util/IdentityHashtable
at com.sun.corba.ee.internal.javax.rmi.CORBA.Util.<clinit>(Util.java:87)

at com.sun.enterprise.server.J2EEServer.main(J2EEServer.java:913)
Specs: Debian unstable (mostly), IBM's JDK1.3, J2EE 1.3
I have to use IBM's JDK because Sun's won't run with glibc 2.2.4. Am I missing a jar file in the IBM jdk? The error seems to imply a class from the J2SE.
Thanks,
Chris

Answer 1

Hi Abhishek,
I already tried this solution, but the IBM compiler immediately segfaults. You are right about the IdentityHashtable class; IBM has put it into a different package:
christianh@cgh1:~/development$ jar tvf rt.jar | grep IdentityHashtable
3220 Tue Sep 25 05:47:56 PDT 2001 com/ibm/rmi/util/IdentityHashtable.class
359 Tue Sep 25 05:47:56 PDT 2001 com/ibm/rmi/util/IdentityHashtableEntry.class
1082 Tue Sep 25 05:47:56 PDT 2001 com/ibm/rmi/util/IdentityHashtableEnumerator.class
Since this seems to be an "internal" class, it looks like Sun's JDK is the only thing that will work with their J2EE app server. Therefore, I have two possible solutions:
1. As you suggested, use a different app server.
2. Figure out how to get the Sun JDK working on a Debian box. See http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4466587.html
I'll probably go with the first solution, though if you know any way to solve #2, I would be most pleased also :) Downgrading glibc, one of the proposed solutions, is not an option.
Thanks,
Christian
