Problems running tomcat on win XP

Hi!
I've just downloaded and installed the JWSDP on Windows XP Professional, but when I try to use Tomcat it starts but then terminates instantly. Can anyone help me with this?
thanks, Ylva

Are you sure its terminating? You will not get an open window when you run tomcat, just a minimised toolbar window.
If it is definitely terminating, have a look at the log file to see what error (if any) is produced - JWSDP_HOME\logs\catalina.out
Also make sure that you are not running any other application which might be using port 8080.

Please let me know where is the problem ??
Thanks. Lax.

Tomcat is telling you there is no context configured to be available from "/". Normally, this would be the default tomcat ROOT webapplication but you somehow managed to remove it (this is not a problem really, in a production environment you don't want it). If you want a context to be available on '/', you need to mount one there. So either install a webapp in the webapps/ROOT folder, or set one manually to '/' in the server.xml file. Check the tomcat docs on how to do this. Here is an example:
<Host name="localhost">
        <Context path="/" docBase="/usr/local/mywebapp" privileged="true" debug="0">
           <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true" docBase="" />
          </Context>
</Host>
Good luck!

Problem running car demo jwsdp-1.3,Tomcat 5.0

Hello. I am having problems running the car demo on the jwsdp-1.3 with Tomcat 5.0.
I get the following error message:
"A jar file containing the Servlet 2.3 and JSP1.2 classes is required to compile
carstore. Please define the property servlet.jar in your build.properties file and ensure
that the file exists."
I replaced the jsf EA 4 with the beta, and cleared out the cache in catalina as per the
installation documents. I am probably missing something here. I checked my path,
(I am using windows xp) and made sure the jsf directory was in the path.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
regards,
cyuno

Thanks for your response.
I changed the path to the tomcat 5.0 that came with the jwsdp-1.3.
However, I am still getting the same error message. I have checked the build.properties file, the path, the path where ant is located, and the path is pointing to the jwsdp-1.3 directory.
I have been working with the examples in the java web services tutorial, and for the most part have not had any problems running the examples using the jwsdp-1.3, ant and tomcat 5.0(except for CH 11, on the jaxb examples)
Thanks again for your help

Problems getting tomcat to run on localhost or anywhere...

I have a huge problem, I have a servlet that i'm developing for the company of my internship, and this is the first servlet i've ever had to develop. It has taken me the entire semester to get as far as i have, and i have a lot of time invested in getting this servlet-centric application to work.
My problem is that i cannot even get tomcat web container to work right on just the local computer- much less the server it will need to run on to support this web app. I have looked through tons of documentation on the web and on the apache website for help on configuring tomcat, and have worked through tutorials on how to get it working, but have not yet had a success story. Time is really running to the line now!
I have read that in order for tomcat to run on IIS you need to configure 'isapi_redirect.dll' and get IIS to filter requests to tomcat. I have even worked through tutorials in doing this, but cannot get it working still. I have tomcat installed, and even shutting off IIS will not allow me to run tomcat and get even an example file included with tomcat to load up when pointing to http://localhost:8080/ or any port listed in the server.xml config file. I can though, get IIS's default page to come up when it is running by pointing to http://localhost/.
I have exhausted all ideas i have to try and make it work, and am not consulting the forum for help. I know there must be a simpler way to get tomcat working at least on the localhost. ANY advice that leads to me being able to get tomcat running right so i can even just test my servlet how it would run on my local computer would be very very great help. Also, if help can be given on how to get it installed with least amount of hassles on a web-hosting server it would be very appreciative.
I am in desperate need of help on this,
please please help me!
-mike

Found the problem- setup turned out a lot easier when i downloaded the right Tomcat file- i had the .zip- which doesn't have an installer on it- so i just talked to a friend, he recommended the one with the installer- less to go wrong in configuration- and it works perfect for the local machine at least- the server might be an issue with support mostly though- don't know yet til i test it there- thanx for trying to help- but got the problem fixed before you guys got the chance to really help much.

JSP problem when running Tomcat in Eclipse

Hello,
Eclipse newbie here.
I just started using Eclipse and I have installed the Tomcat plugin. When I run Tomcat within Eclipse, http://localhost:8080 works fine, but when I tried to access a JSP that I've created, I'm getting this error:
HTTP Status 404 - /JSPDemo.jsp
type Status report
message /JSPDemo.jsp
description The requested resource (/JSPDemo.jsp) is not available.
Using Eclipse version 3.1.2
Tomcat Plugin = sysdeo 3.1
Tomcat version 5.0.28
JDK + JRE = 1.4.2_08
I was just following this tutorial:
http://plato.acadiau.ca/courses/comp/dsilver/2513/EclipseAndTomcatTutorial/
Thanks in advance.

why not use Web Tools Project of Eclipse, it comes with all plugins necessary for J2EE and Web development
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/
it's much easier to use

Access denied Error when trying to run Tomcat that came with JWSDP

Hi fellows,
I went through the forums and found same error posted by someone but no soultion to that.
So hope this time i get lucky.
I am running this on win 98(it really sucks)
After I try to run the startup.bat i get the error:
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\JWSDP-1_0-EA2
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\JWSDP-1_0-EA2
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\JWSDP-1_0-EA2\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\JDK13~1.1_0
Access is denied.
I don't know where to put the build.properties. Any helpful comment will be greately appreciated.
Regards,

Folks
Obviously the EA(Early Access) is just that! I've managed to get around the problem, and run a sample (ConverterBean) using JWSDP with Tomcat on Win98. Here's the workaround:
1> In the startup.bat, replace "start" with "run". Type "startup" from cmd line. This will start Tomcat in the same window.
2> Create the build.properties file in the same location as build.xml. For the Getting Started example, this will be in <jwsdp-home>\docs\tutorial\example\gs.
3> Once you build the sample files, copy the classes directory and index.jsp to <jwsdp-home>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF
4> Update setclasspath.bat in <jwsdp-home>\bin directory to include <jwsdp-home>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes.
5> In the browser, type http://localhost:8080/index.jsp
BINGO!!!!
Cheers!

Problem with Tomcat 404 Redirects & Internet Explorer

Hello All --
I am running Tomcat 5.5.9 stand alone on a linux server. My default application is loading when you visit http://*IPAddress*/
I have set up the standard <error-page> tags in my context web.xml, located in: TOMCAT-INSTALL/webapps/contextname/WEB-INF.
Browsing to an invalid link through FireFox correctly displays my error page. However, browsing to the same invalid link through IE 6 displays the standard IE 404 Not Found Error message.
The strange thing is, if I visit a correct page through IE, then go back and change it so it is incorrect, THEN IE sees my custom error page.
For example, if I visit
http://siteaddress.com/products.jsp?product_id=12345, the page loads correctly. If I change the address to
http://siteaddress.com/products.js?product_id=12345, IE then sees my custom error.
But if I enter the incorrect address right away in a new IE window, I receive the standard IE 404 error messaging.
Could someone please explain why this is happening and what I can do to resolve the problem?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Problems running Photoshop CS6 under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion

Since updating the OS from 10.6.7 to OS 10.8 on iMacs (21" and 24" Intel 2.4GHz) I have experienced problems running Photoshop. The app boots up fine and I can start a project as normal, but when I click on a tool to change it's usage I get the spinning beach ball, this lasts about 5 - 10 seconds and then the tool drop down menu appears. After this, I get the beach ball appearing every few minutes as I try to work, and the only way to get Photoshop running efficiently is to close it down and then restart.
Any ideas as to the cause? I've read on forums from both Adobe and Apple that apparently there are no compatibility issues between Mountain Lion and CS6 but I never had this problem previously under Snow Leopard.

The next two remedial steps would be to reset all tools by right-clicking here:
and if that does not resolve the problem, reset Preferences;
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Problems running servlet due to missing classes?

Hi everyone,
I am doing a project which requires me to convert a java coding into a servlet. This java coding I am working on is some kind of location based service which tracks people (receiving an argument of a string as IP). It imports an external SDK called Ekahau SDK (some off the shelve product). Now I wish to convert it into a servlet so that the function that the java coding performs can be run from a webpage i created.
I have previously posted a thread on this forum called "Converting java coding into servlets?" when I had trouble compiling the servlet. Now that I could compile the servlet already, I still have problems running the servlet from my browser.
The webserver I am using is Apache Tomcat. Previously I was trying Apache HTTP server but since now I need to use servlet, I have shifted to Tomcat instead. I have been getting these "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:" when running the servlet from the browser. From the previous thread, I got suggestions from the replies saying that I need to put the jar files I need into my "C:\Tomcat\webapps\try\WEB-INF\lib" directory. I have been looking for the missing jar files from the internet and putting them into my "C:\Tomcat\webapps\try\WEB-INF\lib", but each time after adding a new jar file, I get another new "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:". Are the missing jar files really the problems? Cause it seems a bit weird to me that I need some many jar files which I dont even know why I need them for.
The HTTP status 500 error look like this:
description
The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

}

Well, it's kind of logical that as you put more jar files (classes) in Tomcat, it changes the error to ask for the classes (inside a jar) it cannot find.
There was a good class->jar finder on the internet some years ago, but i don't remember the address. Try looking for that and search all the missing classes (NotDefined) and their correspondig jar files.
Good Luck!

Eroor in eclipse when i have run TOMCAT in debuge mode web service debuging

hello all,
i have a serious problem with debug my web service. I set local variable in eclipse (-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000). And now if i run TOMCAT in normal mode all worked fine and i run remote java application fine, but if i run TOMCAT in debug mode, eclipse in console return error:
"Error occurred during initialization of VM
agent library failed to init: jdwp
ERROR: Cannot load this JVM TI agent twice, check your java command line for duplicate jdwp options."
If anyone have this problem please tell me how to resolved it.
Thank for help.

Eclipse is kind of a competing product so this is not the best place to ask the question. With that most will be nice enough to lend a hand. I suggest ensuring that all other instances of tomcat are stopped then try again. In the Debug perspective ensure there are no servers running with the same name as the one you are attempting to use. If all else fails ensure there are no tomcat process running if they are kill them. Finally, if you cant get it to work reboot. If still no good the Eclipse might be a better place to go.

Running Tomcat v5.0.28 as a service w/ BEA JRockit v1.4.2_04

Target platform - Windows 2000 Server sp4.
Using Sun's SDK/JRE implementation (v1.4.2_04), we had no problems getting Tomcat 5.0.28 to run as a service. However, the same cannot be said for BEA JRockit v1.4.2_04.
Summary...
I've already done some online research and I know that there is a wrapper.properties file that is required. Further, a couple of online references specify the file's certain variable definitions, but one source had posted its info truncated and the other's info didn't work at all. I also know that wrapper.properties should be placed at [Tomcat install dir]\conf\. Tomcat is configured correctly to see the default JRockit installation directory (c:\jrockit-j2sdk1.4.2_04\).
So if possible, what I would like to know is:
1) The confirmed location for wrapper.properties.
2) The complete list of correct statement lines for wrapper.properties. A template file here would work.
3) Any relevant Operating System Environment variables.
4) Any additional required files and/or operations.
In a pinch, we can live with the Sun JRE implementation for our development environment. But we would rather have our development environment completely mirror our production environment which implements BEA JRockit.
Thanks for your time and help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Problems with Tomcat & Eclipse on MacOSX

Hi everybody. I have a problem with Tomcat and Eclipse. I must make an application with JSF for my dissertation and i even become a new Mac user so i have some problems. I have installed Eclipse 3,3 Europe on Mac OSX 10,4, also I have installed Tomcat 5,5 setting up environment variable and users of Tomcat. Well, when I try to connect them creating a new server in Eclipse and select Tomcat as server and relative folder of origin, the problems begin. When I try to run on server a JSF project(naturally I have imported all the necessary libraries) it give this error to me: Could not load the Tomcat incomplete serveur configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 serveur at localhost-config.The configurator mau be corrupt or. Reason: Could not load the Tomcat incomplete serveur configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 serveur at localhost-config.The configurator mau be corrupt or incomplete. On what it can depend? It is possible that is a JRE problem? I do not find the folder jre on my file system(are novice with the mac). Thanks to all.

This seems like a question that would be better put to an Eclipse forum.

Trouble running tomcat

Hi,
I have, up until now, been running tomcat 5.xx without any problems, however, when I tried to run it recently, my system returned an error:
" The system cannot find the file -Djava .endorsed.dirs=."
I was hoping someone out there might know what the problem may be.
Thanks

Did you modify any of your startup scripts in the bin directory or did you recently try to change any environment variables related to Tomcat such as JAVA_OPTS, CATALINA_OPTS and several others?
This really sounds like your batch or shell file (you don't mention the O/S) isn't working the way you want. This could be because of environment variables or it could be that the script has been modified.
