Re: Tomcat and path with pound sign (#) -> ClassNotFoundException

[Alexey Solofnenko]

Try running "bash -x catalina.sh run" to see if Java is started correctly. If it is not, try running the same command from a normal directory, and run the same command yourself without using scripts provided with Tomcat.

Hi,

you're right about # as a special char for different programming
languages. but nevertheless the # sign is a valid character for
directory and file names (in contrast to * or / for example) for unix
and windows. If it's wise to use it is another question but sometimes
it's just beyond your control.

The same problem (# in directory name) and error message
(ClassNotFoundException) happens with Windows XP. Confirms my suspicion
this beeing a Java and/or Tomcat issue.

kind regards,

to comment out a line, and it will invariably break the code?
Because I thought some on this list were integrating Tomcat with those 
languages.

Has anybody been able to start a tomcat server from such a directory?

I copied a working installation from /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.13
to /usr/local/apache-tomcat#6.0.13, set CATALINA_HOME and got this:

./bin/catalina.sh run

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat#6.0.13
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat#6.0.13
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/apache-tomcat#6.0.13/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_02/jre
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

        at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:390)

So it seems a genuine limitation...
