I tried your code, it didn't capture any event but Tomcat didn't throw any errors.
Typically the error > java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError occurs when a system wide classpath is incorrectly set or partially set. Actually there's no need to set a system wide classpath. Tomcat 5.5.x auto detects it. The only things you need to set are CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME , don't add any of Tomcat's JAR files in the system classpath, that should solve the Tomcat startup error, if you are using a fresh startup.bat (that comes with a fresh Tomcat download). -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
