For 5.5, it is likely that the admin app will continue to get basic maintainace. But, yes, at the moment there isn't any one with an interest in putting a lot of work into it (the previous developer that worked on it is now working on GlassFish I believe). > I downloaded the admin app from the TC 5.5 download page and it doesn't > run in a TC instance with nothing else in it: > The admin download assumes that CATALINA_HOME == CATALINA_BASE. As a result, it copies the admin.xml file to the wrong place. The admin webapp needs this so that it can run "privileged", and see the Tomcat internal classes (including Registry). > java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/modeler/Registry > at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method) > at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2395) > at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2642) > at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1579) > at > org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.getMatchingAccessibleMethod(MethodUtils.java:535) > at > org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeMethod(MethodUtils.java:209) > at > org.apache.commons.digester.CallMethodRule.end(CallMethodRule.java:625) > > (etc.) > > The manager application comes with no libraries, so it's no surprise > that it can't find some library. > > Is the admin app really dead?
