Hi Chris, I can "cd" to all 4 paths w/o any problem (see below). I also verified that TransactionRef class is part of CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/naming-factory.jar
C:\>echo %CATALINA_HOME% C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT C:\>cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/classes C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\classes>cd\ C:\>cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/i18n C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\i18n>cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\endorsed>cd %CATALINA_HOME%/common/lib/ C:\Program Files\thirdparty\TOMCAT\common\lib> At this point, I'm considering reinstalling Tomcat in a different directory as the last resort because it's involved a lot of work. I am looking for a workaround. - Jeffrey Nguyen -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 12:27 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Files/thirdparty/TOMCAT/common/classes/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jeffrey, Jeffrey Nguyen (jeffrngu) wrote: > I had actually tried to define the value for catalina.home explicitely > in catalina.properties file, but I still can't get this working.

It's obvious that the path still contains the space, and that the loader is considering it to be a path delimiter instead of part of the path itself. > If I replace "${catalina.home}" with "C:/Program~1/thirdparty/TOMCAT" > for the first path, I'll get MalformedURLException exception again for > the second path.

Your path is still not correct (likely) 2. Your Tomcat install must be broken. This class should be in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/naming-factory.jar Did you check to see that your 8.3 representation of the path is correct? Try copy-and-pasting that path up there into a "cd" command and see if windows will put you in the proper directory. > One more thing: I don't see any of the above exceptions if I don't > deploy my servlet that uses RMI.

The postings I found mentioned the use of RMI. I assume you need RMI or you wouldn't be asking. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG+rKQ9CaO5/Lv0PARAt2UAJ0SWFILHZC8VBDoet2UExo6ow+2LwCgvBFT IZXJsdh+euO/tLKIVgaS7UA= =BONg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
