ClassNotFound when deploying JPF app on Apache Tomcat

Question

I have a very simple two page JPF application in BEA WL Workshop called Test1Web
within project JohnTest1. I created an EAR file for it in another directory,
and try to install the Test1Web application on Apache Tomcat/4.1.12-LE-jdk14.
Apache failed to start the application because of the following error:
2003-10-22 17:08:19 StandardContext[bea]: Error configuring application listener
of class com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.servlet.WebappContextListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.servlet.WebappContextListener
Is there something I need to do differently when configuring the EAR to make it
work?
Thanks,
John Canfield

John,
"Soon" is with Service Pack 2. You might be able to find an official
date somewhere on BEA's website, but without being two specific I'd say
expect it withing a couple of months.
For the 8.1 release I don't know if any features other than Page Flows
(and associated JSP tags) and XML Beans will run on anything other than
Workshop/WLS. Do you have specific features in mind?
Right now Workshop is optimized for developing and deploying on the
Workshop runtime and WLS.

Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
When you say "soon", is that closer to 1 month from now, or 6 months?
In the meantime, how do you recommend that I design apps in Workshop so that I
can deploy on Tomcat? JPFs seem very central to the way the Workshop UI works
-- I couldn't even get the debugger to work when I imported a non-JPF web app
into Workshop. What is the best way to set up a non-JPF app in Workshop that
still takes advantage of as many Workshop features as possible?
Thanks,
John

John,
Your problem is that the page flow libraries you are using in your
webapp are WLS specific. We will soon be providing alternate libraries
for running JPFs on Tomcat, and then your things should work as you
expected.
