Hello Mohammad, Hello Larry,
thank your very match for your suggestions, but I am still not able to
start the Tomcat. I tried with 5.0 and 5.5 but I am getting the same
message:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
I used three different directories:
E:\Programme\Tomcat5.0
E:\Programme\Tomcat5.5
E:\Tomcat5.5
With all of them I can compile and change my program, but I am not able to
run or debug it. Where or how can I find the starting parameter of the
Tomcat within Eclipse? Where can I see a start log?
I am currently working with NetBeans 3.6 on a large project, where the
integration and configuration of Tomcat is more simple and clear (at least
for me). There I can see and control the Context of my Web-Project. Within
Eclipse I am not seeing it (at least not in the UI) so what if I am
running multiple projects? Nevertheless, I love Eclipse and I am looking
forward to see a good WEB Tool integrated within it.
Best Regards
Peter

Peter,
You can view the launch configuration by executing Run -> Run... and
selecting the configuration under Apache Tomcat. If you don't see
anything unusual, attach or include a copy of the configuration file
found under
<your_workspace_dir>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches
and I'll see if I can spot anything.
Cheers,
Larry

Hello Larry,
thanks for your helpfulness. I looked at the most files within the
metadata folder, but I couldnt find anything suspicious. Here is my
launch configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<launchConfiguration
type="org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.launchConfigurationType ">
<stringAttribute key="server-id" value="02.03.05_16_393"/>
<booleanAttribute key="org.eclipse.debug.core.appendEnvironmentVariables"
value="true"/>
</launchConfiguration>
The only thing I am wondering, is that within the file
metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.ecl ipse.jdt.core.prefs
the entry
//org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathContainer.Infobase|org.eclip se.jst.server.core.container/org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.r untimeTarget/Apache\
Tomcat\ v5.0=
contains too few class path entries, for instance nothing about the
missing file "bootstrap.jar".
As I previously stated, within Eclipse I have Tomcat 5.0 runtime Entry
within my project with only few jars, actually only those found within the
common/lib directory of the Tomcat. The bin and the server/lib
directory are completely missing!? Can I add them manually?
At the end, I simply added all Tomcat5 jars to the class path (tried both
bootstrap and user entries) of the Debug-Launch-Configuration, but as
expected this was not the right solution. At least I am getting another
exception now:
Can't load server.xml
Can't load server.xml

... 6 more
Looking within the Server folder at the Eclipse Project I can find the
local created server configuration: Tomcat v5.0 Server @ localhost-config.
Sorry I cant find, what am I doing wrong. May be I messed it completely
(although I thought, this happens only to newbies
)

Hi Peter,
First, it is normal not to see the startup jars in your Tomcat runtime.
Only jars that are in common\lib should appear. Your webapp
shouldn't need to compile against bootstrap.jar. Not seeing them has
nothing to do with the launch problems.
The launch configuration you show unfortunately isn't the one I'm
looking for. There should be one named something like "Tomcat v5.0
Server _ localhost.launch" that has the actual Tomcat launch
configuration. Do you have one of those?
I am also assuming that this Tomcat runs fine from the startup scripts
in its bin directory. Preferably with the same JDK that the Tomcat
server in Eclipse is configured to use.

Hi Larry,
sorry for my late answer, but I am working at the same time on my project,
so I have only limited time to look at the eclipse problem.
I have looked for the requested file, but there was nothing like this. I
suppose, because the Tomcat hasn't been started at all.
After that I reinstalled the Tomcat 5.0.29 into a new directory, deleted
all files from the workspace (manually) and started from scratch. The good
news is, that I am able to start the Tomcat now. The bad one is, I am
still not able to start my actual project. When I have time, I will look
into it, I hope this is some configuration issue.
Still it is a little bit annoying, that eclipse does not recognize only
new tomcat installations. I must admin, that I have edited the server.xml
and the web.xml of the previous installations, but why should be this a
problem at all?
Best regards
Peter
