HTTP Status 500 -

Hi,

I am running jdk 1.3.1_15

and jre 1.31_15 as well

I am trying to run a web client application that some of my colleagues have made. It is linked with Corel Draw to create Corel Draw files.

I am running the server off of Tomcat 4.1.24

When the program tries to invoke Corel I get the following error messages:

HTTP Status 500 -

- -

type Exception report

message

i'm just wondering where should i start to try to fix the program?...Is it something to do with registering Corel Draw? the JRE/JDK? or a problem with the program itself?

ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated

thanks,

Honestly, it could be a number of things. Probably configuration related. I'd start with the web.xml file. Make sure mappings and settings are correct. I'd start by grabbing a fresh web.xml file and see if you can get it to run with no errors, then slowly add and configure settings to expose the problem. Yet it might be a setting outside of the web.xml. Hard to say. That's my best guess though.

Thanks for the suggestion,Would the fact that the web application ran perfectly on another computer narrow anything down?(In the meantime i will look at the web.xml)thanks,Andrew

yes, that would imply that the system environment variables have obviously changed

so the good news is that your app & server are probably configured okay, but the computer needs something set

for example, if you're running Tomcat, you have to set CATALINA_HOME to the tomcat install root directory and I think you have to have JAVA_HOME set to the JDK root as well.

Thanks,

uhm...i have CATALINA_HOME set to my "jakarta-tomcat-4.124" directory (the root directory to my knowledge) and JAVA_HOME is set to the JDK root.

the server functions...it succesfully shows several jsp's....only when the program tries to interact with corel does the error occur...atleast that's what i think causes the problem?
