Problems debugging servlets [message #20340] Mon, 26 April 2004 15:28 Go to next message

Hi,

I am very new to Java, Eclipse, and Tomcat. And I'm having alot of problems
with configuration.

Java - j2sdk1.4.2_04
Tomcat - v5.0.19
Eclipse - v2.1.3
Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Launcher plugin - v2.2.1

The plug in has an option for the Tomcat version in Preferences > Tomcat >
Tomcat Version. Which to me implies it will work with Tomcat 5.

When I try to start Tomcat from the plug in, I get a series of errors ...
with the following being the most suggestive (imho).
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.loader.DevLoader

So I installed "devloader.zip" into "TOMCAT_HOME/server/classes". The
readme for devloader.zip says it is only for Tomcat version 4. I decide to
try it anyway; Tomcat starts successfully, but when I go to start the
servlet ... I get this:
---------------------------------------
Exception occurred during launch
Reason:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
---------------------------------------

So ... can I run this with Tomcat 5? Should I uninstall Tomcat 5 (again)
and install v4 this time? Am I missing something completely obvious that's
well documented and makes me look like a complete fool? ;-)

Thanks in advance,
John

John:

When I had any problems with the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat plugin, it was
because I was running the JRE and not JDK. This because Tomcat plugin
needs access to the tools.jar. What you might try is to use the -vm
opition and force Eclipse to use the JDK.

I'd also suggest looking at the MyEclipseIDE, http://www.myeclipse.com.

HTH,

Jeff

Jeff,

Thanks for the recommending MyEclipse. However, the URL was mildly
misstated. The correct one is http://www.myeclipseide.com.
