Couldn't startup Tomcat in JWSDP-1_0_01

Hi,
I have trouble starting the tomcat using the %JWSDP_HOME%\startup.bat. I traced the process and found out that startup.bat calls catalina.bat in the same folder and the following error is generated right after this line in the catalina.bat. (BTW, I am on Windows XP, J2SE 1.4.0)
rem Execute the Tomcat launcher
e:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\bin\java.exe" -classpath startup\..\catalina.bat\..;"E:\com\sun\java\jwsdp-1_0_01\bin;e:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin;E:\apache\jakarta-ant-1.5\bin;E:\microsoft\visualStudioDotNet\FrameworkSDK\Bin;C:\WI

As you can tell, I have the %JWSDP_HOME%\bin and the J2SE bin in the path. I even have Ant 1.5.1 installed. But it still fails....
MY PATH VARIABLE:

Any idea about this error?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Wilson

I have the absolutely same problem!
I was confused about that, so I re-installed the SDK (version 1.4.0.02) and the JWSDP (version 1.0.01). But there was no improvement - its always the same: I type "startup" or "ant" in the console and the following message appears:
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-server to select the "server" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated]
The default VM is client.
If I doubleclick the ant.bat or startup.bat, the same happens!
I ckecked my PATH variable, but the bin directories of JWSDP and SDK are correct. Also the JWSDP_HOME variable is correct.
I wished anybody could help. I'm very confused.
any ideas?

  • Problem debugging web application in tomcat for jwsdp

    Hi everybody!
    I have the following problem:
    I have a web application with jsp's and servlets and using IDEA Intellij and tomcat for jwsdp when i run the debugger i get the next message:
    Check your run/debug configuration. Failed to establish connection to the target VM at
    '127.0.0.1:3505' using socket transport
    That problem don't occour me with other version of tomcat but i need the version for jswdp because i use other web application with web services.
    Somebody know how my problem can be solved?

    I struggled with this for awhile until I found the following entry in an IntelliJ forum:
    You have to use zipped Tomcat distribution, it contains the necessary batch startup scripts.
    Also take a look at this guide: ftp://intellij.net/pub/.idea/TomcatTutorial/TomcatJspDebug.zip
    Using the zipped version of Tomcat solved my problem.

  • Jwsdp-1_0_01 JAXRPCContextListener failed

    I'm trying to deploy a web service created with the jwsdp-1_0_01 api. Weblogic 7.0 loads it up and trys to deploy but we get a ClassCastException:
    User defined listener com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCContextListener failed: java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.classloaders.ChangeAwareClassLoader.
    JAXRPCContextListener is a standard ServletContextListener used by sun's wsgen and it's listed in the generated web.xml file in the war. This error is preventing the war from being fully deployed.
    I'm using sun tutorial example \jwsdp-1_0_01\docs\tutorial\examples\jaxrpc\hello\* with the documentation/instructions at \jwsdp-1_0_01\docs\tutorial\doc\JAXRPC3.html
    We've been using webservices on 6.1 for the past year without problems. But I can't get this one to go on 7.0.
    Any thoughts?

    WLS 7.0 got its own implementation of JAX-RPC. I think, the exception is
    because the JAX-RPC factorys are mapped to the WLS impls. You could
    remove the mapping by deleting the following files from weblogic.jar or
    webservice.jar:
    META-INF\services\javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory
    META-INF\services\javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory
    META-INF\services\javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory

  • Jwsdp-1_0_01 and wsdeploy Tool

    Hi,
    I am using "jwsdp-1_0_01" software for developing/deploying web serivces, i just installed the software and run the demo Helloworld example it runes fine. but when i developed new Web Service and try to deploy the service using that "wsdeploy" tool (i am using ant build files for that which were bundeled with the demo application) i got a error mesage (see below).
    error: modeler error: uniqueness constraint violation.
    I don't know from where comes that error message but what i know is that, it could be because of any wrong mapping in one of manny ".xml" file. where ..? i have't any clue. If some one have any idea please do response.
    P.S - the same web service is running fine with previous version of Web service development kit, but at that time i used xrpcc tool for making server side code.

    Hi,
    There has been some changes on the JAXRPC side which
    recquires you to to rebuild your jaxrpc end points and
    deploy the endpoints freshly on the new jwsdp1_0_01
    download .......
    Please try that and post back on if you still get the

  • JWSDP-1_0_01 and xrpcc

    With the JWSDP-1_0_01, when I try to run xrpcc I get this error...
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files
    What am I missing here?

    I experienced the same problem. The way I solved: Edited the last line of xrpcc.bat file (in JWSDP-1_0_01\bin directory) to take out the PATH which created a too long command line. But I have to add the bin directory of JWSDP!
    Original text:

  • Tomcat in JWSDP - localhost:8080 doesnt work!

    Hi there,
    I am using tomcat 4.0 that comes with the Java Web Services Development Pack and I'm having a bit of a nightmare time with this.
    Basically when I goto http://localhost:8080/index.html, I get an error. When I use http://127.0.0.1:8080/ it goes to the index page, which is all well and good.
    After some research I located the "hosts.sam" file and "hosts" files and have made sure they contain the correct info and are in the right pace (i.e. C:\windows for win98). But still tomcat refuses to co-operate. Does anyone have any ideas about how to deal with this, esp given that its in the JWSDP.
    Many thanks

    Hi, raj cmu. I have ie 5.0 but I checked the 6.0 version on the pc of a collegue and I found the identical option "use automatic configuration script". I recap what you have to do to find it: when you are on the internet go to Tools - Internet Options - connections - LAN settings. There you should find that option. Hope I could help you. Let me know.

  • Cant startup tomcat

  • How to startup tomcat not on the nic

    i downloaded tomcat-5.0 and want to run it locally set it up so that it doesn't bind to the ip address from the network card (nic). It only has to bind to 127.0.0.1 localhost.
    We have problems in the license agreement of the isp with setting up a webserver on port 8080 on the network card. That is why i want to set it up on localhost. I want to be able to see the output of a jsp. If my isp sees a webserver on my ip then they disconnect me (which is reasonable).
    How can i accomplish this?

    HEllo ,
    you can set up tomcat to run on diffrent port other than 8080.While running the set up of tomcat it asks for the port number you give it some other port number
    hope this will solve your problem
    bye

    these doesnt suggest too much to me. I strongly hope some one can interprete them and help me get started running my jsp
    abiose

    There are no info about problem. Listing of stdout.log in .../tomcat/logs will help much more.

    The BI server is on a linux machine. I tried this : netstat -p, and I got this with port 9710:

    Can you please let me know what does this mean and how can I start the BI server from here?
    Thanks,
