I've read the migration manuals and have tried to make the changes to my configuration to work correctly in tomcat v8.5, but it's not. I'm not an experton XML files and JDK so please help me. I'm sure this is crazy simple for you experts.
The server.xml conf file is OK between the two versions. But my application's deployment is having problems. In my tomcat v7 conf/Catalina/localhost directory, I have ed.xml file for my application containing: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Context docBase="/home/httpd/ed" path="/ed"> <Parameter name="login" value="xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx"/> <Parameter name="key_string" value="XxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxx"/> <Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader" virtualClasspath="/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-api-client-1.22.0.jar;/usr/local/calendar/google-api-services-calendar-v3-rev230-1.22.0.jar;/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-http-client-1.22.0.jar;/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-http-client-jackson2-1.22.0.jar;/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-oauth-client-1.22.0.jar;/usr/local/calendar/libs/jackson-core-2.1.3.jar"/> </Context> After spending about 6 hours and reading tons of other web posts from others trying to do the same thing, I finally have something working, kinda. My web application at least deploys when tomcat starts. The Loader part in the .xml was replaced with: <Resources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot"> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-api-client-1.22.0.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/google-api-services-calendar-v3-rev230-1.22.0.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-http-client-1.22.0.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-http-client-jackson2-1.22.0.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/libs/google-oauth-client-1.22.0.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> <PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.JarResourceSet" base="/usr/local/calendar/libs/jackson-core-2.1.3.jar" webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib" internalPath="/."/> </Resources> However, when I access the JSP page that need to resolve classes in these .jar's, I get org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: An error occurred at line: [20] in the generated java file: [/work/Catalina/localhost/ed/org/apache/jsp/charters_jsp.java] Only a type can be imported. com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory resolves to a package Line 20 is: import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory; I think I'm up to 12 hours messing with this and reading everything I can get my hands on. Something that was so simple in tomcat 7 has turned out to be a nightmare in tomcat 8. I still don't have a good understanding of what webAppMount is or what I should set it to. I changed PostResources to JarResources and nothing changed. The jar files are not getting found or the classes in the jar files are not getting found. There is no way this can be this hard and complicated in tomcat 8.
