I've been trying to use Tomcat 6 (with Java 6) on FC6, but I cannot seem
to get the third-party transaction manager integrated as in previous
versions. I have configured everything just as in Tomcat 5.5, but there
seems to be a change in the classloading structure, which simply
prevents the classes from loading.
Originally, I had the all the necessary Objectweb (JOTM is my
transaction manager) in a directory outside of the CATALINA_BASE but had
appended them to the beginning of the classpath in setclasspath.sh,
which is how it currently works. With the failure to initialize, I moved
all needed jars into CATALINA_BASE/bin, after first trying
CATALINA_BASE/lib. My suspicion is that there's a class that is needed
by the Objectweb DataSourceFactory that was previously included but is
no longer found, due to a change in the classloading architecture; but,
that's almost purely theoretical.
This is the error from catalina.out:
WARNING: Failed to register in JMX: javax.naming.NamingException: Could
not create resource factory instance [Root exception is
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.objectweb.jndi.DataSourceFactory]
This is what's configured as a global resource in server.xml:
<Resource name="AdminCop"
min="1"
max="1"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
factory="org.objectweb.jndi.DataSourceFactory"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="xxx"
password="xxx"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:xxxx:XXX" />
I have, of course, read the appropriate JNDI How-To, but, as I say, I
have configured all resources, properties, paths, etc, exactly the same
as in Tomcat 5.5 with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
