I had been running my app fine in tomcat 6 – both myEclipse sandbox and standalone. Then I needed to deploy to tomcat 5.5. Initially i got NoClassDefFound errors, I figured out i was missing jars from “JavaEE 5 libraries”. I did a clean/build, and did deployments to 5.5 and 6.0 standalone servers on my machine & diff’d the web-inf/lib directories. Differences are:
– only in 5.5:
backport-util-concurrent.jar
el-api.jar
el-ri.jar
xercesImpl.jar

– only in 6.0:
jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl-1.2.jar

My app runs fine under 5.5 by just manually copying the jsf-api, jsf-impl, and jstl-1.2 jars, but naturally i’d rather not have to do that!

Project includes a bunch of libraries from hibernate, Spring 2.5, icefaces, and JUnit4. (See .classpath appended at the end of this posting)

Any ideas?

dwighte,

The workaround to work with Tomcat 5.5 is to add the required jar files manually.

A smilar issue was reported. Refer to this post here

http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-22836-highlight-tomcat-sid-d391ed8f94e0c6be33f0bd350840008e.html

This issue is reported to the dev team and they are currently working on it. Sorry for the inconvinience.

I had read that topic, but it seemed enough different to post this separately. In that case, the files were copied, unless the “JARs from User Libraries” option was unchecked. In my case, that makes no difference. Plus, i’m deploying to tomcat 5.5, and that was to 6.

As long as the dev team is aware of both situations, that’s fine. I’ll do the manual copy for now.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks dwight, for pointing out the difference. I have raised a PR for the dev team. Sorry for the inconvinience.
