Cannot start tomcat with jboss configuration

[richardli]

Hi All,

I have installed JBoss2.4 with embedded Tomcat 3.2.3 on SuSE linux 7.3. I run into trouble to start Tomcat. The error message is attached as following:

I use jdk1.3.1 on the linux box. In addition, I encountered the same problems on Win2K. I wonder if anybody had the similar experience or has any clues what are the potential causes for this error. Thank you!

Check your class paths and jars. If u have winzip utilities check if any of the jars is missing the class that it is not finding. If it is missing it could be the problem. Its happened to me. And if u see the class mentioned in the path - it could be a class path problem.
