The application raises this exception "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap " I added the bootstrap.jar to the project's "required librairies" I also added the path to that file to my windows PATH environment variable but I'm still getting that error. What am I missing? Thanks for any information Back to top Amunike Guest Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 7:48 pm    Post subject: Re: Tomcat doesn't start Thanks for your reply Lori I Installed tomcat 5.5 and the servlet wizard asked me if i wanted to make a copy of that server configuration...I responded "Yes", so now it's trying to run something called Copy_tomcat 5.5. The paths that I setup don't hurt anything do they?

All you have to do is select Tomcat 5.5 as the application server for your project. Then JBuilder will magically add jars specific to the selected server to your required libraries automatically. You just need to go to your Project Properties, select "Server" and then choose... well, Tomcat 5.5 isn't supported in JB2005. You can go with Tomcat 5.0, or you can search the borland.public.jbuilder.servlets-jsp group for the many postings about trying to get Tomcat 5.5 working within JBuilder 2005. Or you can upgrade to JB2006, which does have Tomcat 5.5 support. -- Regards, Lori Olson [TeamB] ------------ Save yourself, and everyone else, some time and search the newsgroups and the FAQ-O-Matic before posting your next question.

I'm not sure how or where you "installed Tomcat 5.5" into JBuilder One thing you didn't mention earlier is which version of JBuilder you are trying this against. It's very possible that you cannot install Tomcat 5.5 in the "thirdparty" directory, and expect to be able to configure it if you are using JBuilder 2005 or older. I think that if you look back in the archives, you'll probably see threads on this, and I think the answer is that no one has shown how to do this. (I could be wrong; and it could be that no one has tried hard enough.) [Here's my take, partly educated from having migrated a few apps to TC 5.5.x from either TC 4.1.x or TC 5.0.x: As usual, the wise folks at Tomcat, LLC (or is it .org?) decided that they'd rather radically alter things in the "dot" release that TC 5.5 is wrt to TC 5.0. In doing so, they quite radically altered Web app configuration, e.g., context.xml now contains much of what was formerly put into server.xml, such that it renders the expectations/ specifications on which JBuilder's Tomcat support rest sort of null and void. Nice work Tomcat, LLC. The truth is, THEY DO THIS FOR EVERY "DOT" RELEASE. Kind of infuriating, if you ask me. The flip side to the story is that without adequate documentation of the Open Tool's Server API, we in the community have our hands tied, unlike those in the Eclipse community who can rather easily crank out a solution when Tomcat, LLC changes their minds with a change in the weather. The lack of such documentation may be motivated by the fact that these Web development/Server support Open Tools are part of the reason JBuilder Developer and Enterprise have a price tag.] Your best bets are: 1. as Lori noted, upgrade to JBuilder 2006 Developer; (okay, that may be more than you want to spend, but banging your head against the wall for how many hours may make it seem cheap, something which 99.9994% open source IDE users don't seem to get); 2. run Tomcat 5.5.9 as a stand-alone and debug remotely using JBuilder 2005. The remote debugging facility is pretty darned good, and many of us used it to develop with Weblogic for a very long time until WL was supported in JBuilder. Quote: The paths that I setup don't hurt anything do they? The paths you set up may hurt. It's hard to tell, though. You'd be wise to remove all the stuff you added to your project's "Required Libraries" tab that are related to this attempt to get Tomcat 5.5 going. -- Paul Furbacher (TeamB) Save time, search the archives: http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/ngsearch.html Is it in Joi Ellis's Faq-O-Matic? http://www.visi.com/~gyles19/fom-serve/cache/1.html Finally, please send responses to the newsgroup only.
