Debuging / Running JSP with Tomcat [message #42878]

Hello,

I originally posted this message via the "Web interface" and it seems to be
viewable on the server but not on the web interface itself !! So I thought I
would post it again, via my own web interface to see if that works ..

ORIGINAL PROBLEM:

I have downloaded the IBM.zip code and installed it. I have patched the
tomcatcore.jar file and have downloaded Tomcat 5.5 with J2P SE5. I went
through the "getting started" document and all went well until I came to
the final part.

Instead of tomcat starting, I get the following error:

"Could not find the main class. Program will exit"

and on the console there is:

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Software
Exception in thread "main" "

Anyone know what the problem is ? and how to fix it ?

Thanks
Ian

I ran into the same problem, and the solution for me was to ensure that
tools.jar from the j2sdk was on the build path.

I created a new JRE entry which was a copy of my J2SDK entry
("J2SdkWithTools"). In Edit JRE, I unchecked "Use default system
libraries" and added c:\path_to_my_j2sdk\lib\tools.jar as an External
Jar. I configured Tomcat to use this JRE through Window > Preferences >
Server > Installed Runtimes.

I stopped the server, removed the Server entry for my Tomcat, added it
again and started in Debug mode and the example in the Getting Started
guide worked for me.

Hope that helps,
Patrick.

I have got exactly the same problem but for some reason I'm not able to
solve it the way Patrick described. I'm using SDK 1.4.2_05 and have
installed Tomcat 5.0.28 on Win2K machine.

Could there be any other reasons for this error?

Thanks!
