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.

Trouble running jobs with scheduler

Hello,
We have trouble running jobs with scheduler since we upgrade DS4 from 14.0.1.142 to 14.0.2.322. It works fine for several hours and then randomly jobs are not started. There is no error in the log. In AL_RWJobLauncherLog.txt file, there are no "RWJL_EXIT called" in that case :
02_28_2012 09:30:00     CRWJobLauncherApp::InitInstance called.

Sever_eventlog file shows that job is not started. Whole server has to be restarted to get it to work again (restarting DI_JOBSERVICE is not enough). Could you help please ?

Hi Annie,
Mmmhhh that doesn't make much sense to me, except if you have problems with the repository:
1) Your JobServer or JobLauncher has problems executing jobs
=> reads the repository to get job information
2) Your Management Console (independant from the JobServer - but on same machine) has problems
=> Is connected to the repository to show job status, adapters etc.
3) The Tomcat which is hosting the Management Console is OK
=> No connection to the repository of DS.
Do you have any network or database problems? Can you put the database on the same server?
I could be wrong of course...just the only thing that comes to mind..
Regards
Norbert
P.S:
What about compressing your repository and/or
1395641 - Will truncating the AL_HISTORY and AL_STATISTICS Table compromise the referential integrity of the repository?
There are half a dozen KBAs about these tables..

Running Tomcat from a java program

I'm writing a program that shall run Tomcat from the program itself. The eacy way would be to just call org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(String[]) in a new thread, but that gives only a little information to the program about the state of the server. Actually I would only know when the server is told to start (just before the main method is called), and when the server had stopped (just after the main method).
I have browsed the Catalina API documentation and source code for hours, but the only solution I have gotten, writes the standard startup text:
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.4
Starting service Tomcat-Apache
Apache Tomcat/4.0.4If I could get that to work, I would could add a LifecycleListener, and get all the info. I need.
The essence of the code I use is this:
CatalinaService cs = new org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService();
Server s = new StandardServer();
StandardService stdService = new org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService();
s.addService(stdService);
cs.setServer(s);
cs.process(new String[]{"start"});but the following also produce a simmilar result:
BootstrapService b = new org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService();
b.load(new TomcatLoader(),null);
b.start();A dirty solution would be to copy the code form Bootstrap.main(String[]) and add a few lines, but I really dosn't like that. It would be a nightmare to maintain, primiarry because I would loose the functionallity of Catalinas class loader (where a lof of classes is loaded).
Does anybody know how I can get Tomcat to run, so I still get my info. and don't use any dirty solutions?

Check out the main method in the source code of class org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded
It should help you.

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.

Trouble running DurableSubscriberExample

Hi
I am having trouble running the "DurableSubscriberExample.java" that is in Appendix A of the "Java Message Tutorial" (http://java.sun.com/products/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/client_samples.html#1002876)
These are the steps I followed:
1. I compiled the classes - "DurableSubscriberExample.java" and "SampleUtilities.java".
2. I stared the j2ee server.
3. I created a topic called jms/Topic as follows:
j2eeadmin -addJmsDestination jms/Topic topic
4. I created a connection factory with a Client ID by copy-pasting the following from the tutorial (section 8.2.3) as instructed:
j2eeadmin -addJmsFactory jms/DurableTopicCF topic -props clientID=MyID
5. Then I specified the connection factory name and the topic name on the command line as instructed:
java -Djms.properties=C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\config\jms_client.properties DurableSubscriberExample DurableTopicCF jms/Topic
This is the error I get:
JNDI API lookup failed: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: DurableTopicCF not found
Any idea what's wrong?

I installed J2sdkee1.3.1 to Win98, I can startup the J2ee server. Once I typed j2eeadmin -addJmsDestination MyQueue queue, I got the following message :
C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin>j2eeadmin -addJMSDestination jms/MyQueue queue
Usage:

I also read that you can run java headless to avoid the dependencies to X. Now is there a way to run tomcat (or add variables to tomcat's startup.sh) to avoid having these dependencies?
Thanks for your help,

[Googling the exception|http://www.google.com/search?q=java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError+at+java.awt.Color.%3Cclinit%3E%28Color.java%3A250%29+tomcat] learns me it's a bug in the mentioned Tomcat + JDK combo.
Upgrade to the latest if possible.

Re: Using already running Tomcat server for development.

Hi Nick,
Yes, you can use existing Tomcat Server for debugging app developed with
NitroX. And you can refer to Help > Help Contents > NitroX User Guide >
NitroX Tour > Running and debugging the application.
We do support Tomcat 4.0.x to Tomcat 5.0.x. If you need any further
assistance please get back to us.
Thanks

Do I need to redeploy and run tomcat every time I�m changing something?

Guys,
I�m using MyEclipse as the IDE to develop struts application. I am a newbie to this topic (but doing just fine)
Anyway, I do this:
I write my code, deploy it, run Tomcat and than I click the site to see the results.
sometime I am changing the words or the code and than want to see the changes, for this, and this is the point I think I do wrong, I STOP Tomcat, Redeploy, START tomcat and refer back to the site (imagine the how long it takes)
Is there a better way only to redeploy so everything will take effect immediately?
Why when I change something in the AppliatinResources it doesn't kick in?
Thanks

I use MyEclipse and Tomcat and changes are reflected within a few seconds after making changes without redeploying.
I have noticed that when adding servlets and modifying servlets, it takes a few seconds for changes to show while the context reloads.

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 as a service

I have two questions about running Tomcat as a service.
First, when I try to install and start tomcat 3.3.2 with the java sdk 1.4.0 using jk_nt_service, the service won't start. When I execute the following command, jk_nt_service -S Tomcat-3.3-2-Dev, I get a response of Tomcat-3.3.2-Dev failed to start. When I execute the following command, net start Tomcat-3.3.2-Dev, I get a system error 1067 response. Does anyone know how to get around this error?
Second, if we try to run Tomcat 4.1.27 as a service, we get very slow response compared to running startup.bat in the bin directory. Does anyone know why this is and what could be done to improve the performance?
Jim Field

I don't know the answer to the first question.
Regarding the second one: when you say "slow response", do you mean for every request you send to the service compared to sending the same request to Tomcat started with startup.bat, or are you referring to just starting the service?
Have you measured the response time for a number of requests to both the service and script-started Tomcat, or is this a subjective judgement? MOD
