javax.servlet.jar missing in 3.2.5?

tiredofworkingfortheman Jul 7, 2004 8:21 PM

Hi,

I was trying to get the Duke's Bank App deployed; following the tutorial.

During the build process I kept getting errors that servlet methods were missing. I looked for the file javax.servlet.jar as listed in the build.properties file in the j2eetutorial directory after unpacking the tutorial src from this site over the tutorial download from SUN, but no joy. So I found a servlet.jar file buried in the dist somewhere (.../tomcat/jbossweb-tomcat41....) and used it. Good news was my complile problem was over; bad news was now I have all kinds of problems getting Bank application to work.

After thinking about this I realize what a moron I am for thinking I could just change the build.xml file pointed to "some other servlet.jar" and have it work. There are a bunch of methods that it doesn't seem to have in it. No wonder the server's getting a little miffed come run time.

So... Am I high on crack, or is the javax.servlet.jar just not there?

Thanks for any input.

P.S. I did find some things on the web that suggest that the method locations have changed, and now that stuff is in servlet-api.jar. Maybe javax.servlet.jar is not supposed to be there, and I should alter my build.properties

Thanks very much. I started back again from scratch following your advice, and my compile problem is fixed. What you did makes a lot of sense when I look at it. Now I'm on to bigger and better problems!

org.apache.jasper.JasperException
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:372) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:292)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:236)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)

...I'll throw some time at this and see if I can't get anywhere.

Thanks again.

Is your JAVA_HOME set?

Thanks, but I don't think it's my JAVA_HOME. I just started using a mac so the JAVA_HOME ENV is a little odd, but I'm pretty certain it's right.

I'm going to dig on it a while and see if I can't solve it. If I can't, I'll post again with a better Subject line as I think my problem with the javax.servlet.jar is definately solved.

BTW, my understanding of the build scripts for ant has imporoved a lot.

Thanks again,

I encounted this problem some time ago.

There used to be a jboss-servlet.jar in <JBOSS3.2.3_HOME>/server/default/lib,but in the release of jboss3.2.5,this jar was divided into two part -servlet_api.jar and jsp_api.jar-and put in <JBOSS3.2.5_HOME>/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar

Hi,

Set your CLASSPATH (using the Control Panel-> System-> Advanced-> Environment Variables route) to include %JAVA_HOME%\lib and %JAVA_HOME\jre\lib. That should do it.

Good luck,
Sanjay

Hi,

the main pb comes from the new packaging of the web container.
You should replace all javax.servlet.jar by
default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/servlet-api.jar

you can set it (servlet.jar property) up in the build.properties file (highest level).
Add a jsp.jar property too (pointing to the same dir with jsp-api.jar)

then, change the build files to add the use of the jsp.jar propertie in the same way as servlet.jar

I'm in the process of attempting a build of jbossj2ee-src.
Where do I place the above code?

Thanks,

Any help is highly appreciated.
