Tomcat Startup

I had to go into the server.XML file and change port 8080 to a different port because 8080 was in use on my system (I have tried several different ports). When I navigate to %CATALINA_HOME%\bin and type startup another console window pops-up and displays:Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.3
Starting service Tomcat-Apache
Apache Tomcat/4.0.3After this it just hangs...with no other messages or information. I have been doing battle with setting up Tomcat for a few days now. I am inexperienced but I refuse to throw in the towel! I appreciate any input. Thanks!

It is OK, it tells you tomcat has started. It won't show anythig until you try to enter a page. Then, if there is any error, or if you have some outputs to print in console, more messages will appear.

Run servlet automatically when tomcat startup

Dear all
I need help to run servlet automatically when tomcat startup without starting even the application containing the servlet
thanks in advance

lol
i've the same problem with my car,I want it to go ahead but without starting the engine and using all this gasoline...
Seriously... the servlet IS almost your application
when you start the server, the application starts to
check the init() method of the servlet Interface
and the "load-on-startup" parameter of the servlet in the deployment descriptor

Loading JNI library on Tomcat startup

I am trying to load a JNI library on startup of servlet. I have written the following code in my servlet init function:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
log.info("Loading native libraries...");
System.loadLibrary("foo");
log.info("Native libraries loaded...");
On Tomcat startup, I see the "Loading native libraries..." message, but I don't see the "Native libraries loaded...". As if the system hung in the System.loadLibrary function.
Anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Martin

The specification specifically forbids the use of native libraries in container objects. So you might want to take that into consideration with whatever you are doing.
If you do want to do that then I would suggest loading it outside of the container. There is probably some configuration option that allows you to force tomcat to load something on start up.
You might also want to consider if hot deploys are part of your future. If they are then you might want to put the interface inside of your own custom class loader, so you can probably control the unload of the shared library.
If you search the J2EE lists you will find that almost everyone states that JNI should not even be loaded into the server. Instead you should create a seperate application and use RMI to access it. Myself I think that is overkill, but I would probably consider exactly what I am interfacing to before making that final decision. If your JNI library blows up it will take down the entire server (which is why the spec forbids it.)

Initialize a web service when Tomcat startup

Hi,
I have a web service, built using Axis 2 1.2, that will do all the initialization at the first service call (e.g. create new database tables, create JAXB objects, etc), but it's taking too much time to do those tasks (at least twice slower than a normal service call with everything ready).
i was wondering if i can do the initialization at Tomcat startup, instead of doing it at the first service call, so that the first service call could always get the highest possible performance..
Thanks..

problem resolved... i've created a servlet class to initialize everything, and i have modified web.xml to call this servlet class when tomcat startup.

Well I can offer a few, some I don't remember...
I know that at one point I had defined an applicaton context in my server.xml file and later commented it out. But I don't see that having a relationship to this Invocation error..
Other changes include at some point removing an entire web application directory, with its associated web.xml from out of the webapps dir. Maybe some of the settings there were causing a problem..

JSF: Problem during Tomcat Startup

Hi, I am having a strange problem with a JSF-application.
I am using jdk 1.3.1 (13), Tomcat 5.0.28 and the Sun JSF-Ref. implementation. On my dev-environment all is well. On the system-test environment of the customer, Tomcat would not initialize the FacesServlet claiming that it can not find the faces-config-file.
I have tries all 3 ways of referencing the config-file (put it into a jar, put faces-config.xml directly into WEB-INF, add a context-param to web.xml with the URI of the file and param-name javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES). All three work fine on my dev, none of them works on sys-test.
Funny enough, if I use the context-param in web.xml, where the web-app context is ctx, for the URI /WEB-INF/the-faces-config.xml I get an error during startup, for the URI /ctx/WEB-INF/the-faces-config.xml I don't have a problem on startup but the servlet does not actually read the config-file (you can tell from the fact that it can't resolve any of the Bean-methods).
Any idea would be much appreciated!
Cheers, Bastian

Hi, thanks - unfortunately that did not help. The system (in the original configuration) does find the jars ok in WEB-INF/lib (I can tell since there is code in the jar which is executed before the problems hit me and the stack-trace when it can't resolve the bean-methods is from com.sun.faces.el.impl). It looks like the beans are not actually initialized (which is consistent, since the system can't find the config-file which wires the beans).

FacesException at Tomcat startup with Trinidad Render Kit

I have an application that seems to work for other developers in our office but continues throwing errors when Tomcat is started. The FacesException thrown gives no message so it's been tough to debug. The InstantiationException thrown when trying to instantiate the Trinidad CoreRenderKitFactory doesn't give me much of a clue either.
Hopefully someone has seen this before b/c I haven't found any useful clues in the logs or Googling around. If nothing else, maybe someone could help me get Tomcat to output more detailed log info in the console (I'm using MyEclipse) in case there is some more useful info in there.
The environment is JSF 1.1, Tomcat 5.5.28, Java 1.5, Apache Trinidad 1.0.10, Spring 2.5
Thanks,
Adam

Tomcat startup problem Win98

Hello Friends,
I am trying to start up Tomcat server, but keep getting error that TOMCAT_HOME is not set. I am using Windows 98. I tried to set the Tomcat_home using
SET TOMCAT_HOME = C:\Tomcat in autoexec.bat
but it gives error - out of enviromental space
How can I set this env. variable? or increase env. space on win98?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Buy I still get the following error:
startup.bat -->

Out of enviroment space
Unable to determine value of TOMCAT_HOME
In my autoexec.bat I have created teh following variables:

SET TOMCAT_HOME = "D:\Programs\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2"
SET JAVA_HOME = "D:\work\Java\jdk1.3.1"
Have no clue ...

Tomcat startup error: can't start server

Hi!
I got Jbuilder 8, it contains Tomcat 3.1, Tomcat 4.0, Tomcat 4.1 servers.
When I develop in the IDE, the JBuilder 8 can start any of these servers.
But if I want to use Tomcat 4.1 alone (independent from JBuilder), it doesn't works.
I followed the steps written in Tomcat installation instructions (setting path, environment variables), but when I try to run startup.bat it's opened a new window for a minute (I think with error message), and close it too fast to read the message.
The first DOS window shows:
USING Java_home.......
USING Catalina_home......
etc.
and nothing else, but Tomcat doesn't run.
I can start Tomcat 3.1 this way, but not the other two (4.0, 4.1)
Anyone can help?
thank you
sorry for the bad English, I hope you can understand.

I am also getting the same error while starting tomcat. The catalina command window disappears immediately.
tried running the catalina run command....it gives

Tomcat startup.bat question

When execute Tomcat5/bin/startup.bat,it will appear a command window,all display information of Tomcat will appear in it.Is there a method which can put the display information in this command window into a TXT file? Because if tomcat or JVM raise fatal error,before I see the error display information of Tomcat in this command window,the command window has closed!!! Or is there a method which can keep the tomcat command window opening all time whether it raise so fatal error?
Any idea will be appreciated!

Open a command prompt: Start:run cmd
This opens a dos prompt box for you.
When you run tomcat this way, it won't close the box.
Alternatively check the Tomcat5/logs directory for any error messages there.

Tomcat Startup Problem with coyoteconnector

I am a newbie java person and have installed the tomcat files.
When I run startup I get the following error;
Classnotfoundexception on the CoyoteConnector.
I have the classpath pointing to all and sundry but it still does not see it.
c:\jdk;C:\jdk\lib\tools2.jar;C:\jdk\lib;c:\tomcat4.1;C:\TOMCAT4.1\server\lib\tomcat-coyote.jar;c:\tomcat4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;.
JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk
Any ideas?

This is the actual error log;

Tomcat startup,shutdown blues......

hi,
my dev environment:Win2000 professional,Tomcat 4.1,j2sdk1.4.1_02
I hv successfully installed TomCat and m able to run jsp,servlet,struts applications.
The only problem i m facing is dat.....i dun hv to use "startup.bat" for starting the Tomcat.Wheneva i boot my pc.....Tomcat starts on its own.So i cannot even shutdown tomcat using "shudown.bat".I get the following error whn i execute shutdown.bat
Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I even tried stopping the Tomcat services using the taskbar.....but i get "access denied" error.....
I hv installed tomcat twice.......but the same error still persisits.....
Can some one please help me out....
regds,

hi,
You've dowloaded the tomcat distribution that is installed as a windows service.
Get the plain installation : the zip file. Unzip it and hit bin/startup.bat ! Don't forget to set your JAVA_HOME environment variable or it won't start.
