I am upgrading from Apache Tomcat 4.1.18 to 5.5.
I copied a web application for test and it does not recognize the jars stored in WEB-INF/lib. Should I put them somewhere else? Should I do something more to tell him that I installed that application?
(Tomcat Manager recognizes that a new application was added.)
Thanks
I tryied also to deploy it by WAR upload and the results are the same.
It does not find the classpath jars.
I also put the files in the servers's lib directory and I also put the class files in "classes" (of course this time not as a jar archive).
Still: "package aaa.bbb does not exist"
thanks but it still doesn't work.
I get the same "package ... does not exist".
I have the packages now as jar in the WEB-INF/lib, tomcat/shared/lib and tomcat/common/lib and also the classes in all 3 classes directories.
I restarted, deleted the "work" directory and everything.
any thoughts?
I'm glad your problem is solved, but just as an FYI , Tomcat 5.x should also be able to pick up JAR files located under your application's
WEB-INF/lib/ folder too.
Make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set the main directory of where you installed Java and CATALINA_HOME environment to Tomcat's main directory
If you have a <Context>.xml file under
C:\dev\apache-tomcat-5.5.12\conf\Catalina\localhost\
simply change the docBase , that way whenever you upgrade Tomcat you'll only have to change the docBase of your project and not worry about anything else.
This: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html has details on Context parameters.
