Can't start Tomcat [message #77687] Sun, 27 February 2005 14:16 Go to next message

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the new M3 build of the WTP and created a new
Web Project as showed in the Tutorial "WTP Tutorials - Building a School
Schedule Web Application". Everything goes ok, except that I am not able
to start the Tomcat 5.0. I am getting Class not found Exceltion :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap

Looking at the Tomcat v5.0 runtim configuration within my project, I do
not see the bootstrap.jar, commons-launcher.jar, commons-daemmon.jar - all
of them laying in the Tomcat5.0/bin directory.

What I am doing wrong?

Best Regards
Peter

I have exactly the same problem and exactly the same error. It just doesn't
seem to be neatly integrated the way WSDK 5.1 was in Eclipse 2. I'm hoping
the next release should address this issue, otherwise I'm lost.

Hi Peter,

Are you specifying the root directory of you Tomcat install as the install
location? If so, what is the directory name? There was a post above that
suggested the directory name must be as creates it when you unzip.

Hello Lawrence,

My tomcat installation directory is E:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\ - this is also
how I entered it in the "Edit Server Runtime" dialog - otherwise eclipse
won't let you get any further.

I was able to duplicate this. Drop the trailing '\' and just use
"E:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28" and it should work. The extra '\' causes the
launch configuration to contain "...\bin\" rather than
"...\bin\bootstrap.jar" in the classpath.

You can either delete and re-create the server, or execute Window ->
Preferences and select Server -> Installed Runtimes -> "your runtime"
and click Edit. Remove the trailing '\' from the installation directory
and save.

I'll see about logging a defect and providing a patch.

Cheers,
Larry

Dear Larry,

Thank you very much! I've now got my first JSP running on Tomcat under Eclipse!
I can now move onto some more serious stuff. Excellent, thanks again.

Kind regards,
Muhammad

Hello Larry,

I've noticed that eclipse 3.1 (I was first working with 3.0.1) doesn't add
a backslah to the end of the server path by default, which makes life a little
easier :)

Muhammad
