java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.catalina.startup.Cat

[mduffy_lists]

I have downloaded the latest jboss-5.0.0.GA for JDK 5.0

I am running on JDK 6.0; OS is Fedora Core.

With just unzipping the file and trying to start the server, I get the following error:

[mduffy_lists]

Exact same error when trying to run the latest jboss-5.0.0.GA for JDK 6.0

Again, I am running JDK 6.0.

Also, both errors occur when making absolutely no directory or file modifications. I just unzipped the download and tried to start the server.

Did I miss something very basic in the release notes? The word "catalina" is not in the release notes.

Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thx.

Mike

Please post the entire console logs. Also what does the following command, output

java -version

[mduffy_lists]

java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

[mduffy_lists]

I just upgraded to java version "1.6.0_11" and the error went away.

You might have an older version of the catalina jar file in your classpath or in an endorsed directory. You can add "-verbose:class" to the java command line in the run script to debug this.

I had a similar problem years ago where the error message made no sense: compiler complained that class X is missing method Y, but the source of class X had method Y. Upgrading to a new JDK fixed the problem only to have it reappear later. The issue was that someone put an older version of the jar file into the endorsed directory. Using -verbose:class helped me find the problem, after which I had a few choice words for the person who placed the jar into the endorsed directory.
