JBoss 2.4.4 and Tomcat 4.0.1

[westam]

I just downloaded and installed this.
The readme says to enable tomcat uncomment a pragma in jboss.conf but it is not there in the default configuration but there is a pragma in the jboss.jcml (btw is this job control markup language? This brings back a few memories from MFT, MVT and MVS days).
When I enable this I get exceptions trying to load the tomcat class. I presume I need some jars in the classpath. I purchased the install and admin doc but it does not seem to cover this.

1. Give more information about the exception (stacktrace).

2. At least the tools.jar located somewhere under the installation directory of your jdk needs to be copied to jboss-dir/lib/ext to enable compiling of servlets.

[westam]

I dont get as far as compiling servlets, first part of the log ....

I think this is the same issue I've been trying to work out today. In case this is still causing you problems, here's what I did to (hopefully) eliminate similar errors that I was seeing while started up with embedded tomcat. I haven't done much testing with tomcat yet, but at least I'm not getting the startup errors.

My problem seemed to be that the structure of the tomcat jar file was different than expected by jboss.jcml. The jboss.jcml that came with my JBoss 2.4.4/Tomcat 4.0.1 distribution tried to start the tomcat service using the same class name you're showing--org.jboss.tomcat.EmbeddedTomcatServiceSX.

I didn't have this class in any of the jar files that came with my distribution. However, my catalina-service.jar had a class with this name at org.jboss.web.catalina.EmbeddedTomcatServiceSX. I got rid of this error by changing the embedded tomcat line in jboss.jcml to:



I also had a similar error when starting the JBossMQ service, which had a similar resolution.

Hope this helps,
Jessica

You could just deploy a dummy app at the root context ( / ). when i downloaded JBoss-2.4.3_Tomcat-4.0.1, the first thing i did was wipe the deploy directory.. toss something in there that references / in the application.xml and you will be all set...

This solution is found in many places in the forums.

[amowers]

I am seeing this same error.

What is the work around for this? Does it have anything to do with the fact I am using jdk1.4 on my windows2000 installation. (please no snide remarks about windows :-) )

[rgjawanda]

I think I got almost everything working becuase I got all the examples to work. The only one that doesn't is the interest.ear which is the test inside the web browser.

I had to do some real fiddling with the installation.
I copied the tomcat jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3-LE-jdk14 version into the JBoss-2.4
.4_Tomcat-4.0.1/catalina directory
replacing the 4.0.1 version with 4.0.3 version.

I think the examples are wrong with the interest.ear file.
I believe they missed an xml file but I am no expert here.
I hope someone can help.



Here is my error (I took this part out of the junk below)

[xj02]

I also got the problems to install JBoss 2.4.4 and Tomcat 4.0.1.
I run run_with_catalina.bat and got errors like:
./run_with_catalina.bat: @echo: command not found
./run_with_catalina.bat: fg: no job control
./run_with_catalina.bat: .run.bat: command not found
: command not found.bat:
I really have no idea about that, anyone could help? Thanks!

[troydoux]

xj02, it looks like you're running DOS batch file on a Unix system. Try running run_with_catalina.sh instead
