Hello, I am trying to run the tomcat as NT Service, but does not seem to work with OCI, if I run the same tomcat instance not as a service but via startup.bat, the OCI JDBC driver works fine. Can anybody help me locate how to fix the service installation script to avoid the exception. Local setup followed - 1) I have installed tomcat 5.5.25. 2) Installed oracle client installation to use JDBC OCI Driver. a) Installed the oracle client installation at location - C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 b) PATH is updated to reflect the above location for the dlls. c) copied the ojdbc14.ar to the %CATALINA_HOME%/commo/lib/ folder. 3) the context.xml has the OCI URL properly - <Resource name="jdbc/provider" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:oci:@//<IP>:1521/orcl" username="UN" password="PWD" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1" removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="60" logAbandoned="true" /> If i run the %CATALINA_HOME%/bin/startup.bat - the application works fine and the JDBC code excutes properly. To install the tomcat as a service I ran the following script - NOTE - We did specify the -Djava.library.path in the script. _____________________________________________________________________________ SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\tools\apache-tomcat-5.5.25 SET CATALINA_BASE=C:\tools\apache-tomcat-5.5.25 @echo off echo CATALINA_HOME: %CATALINA_HOME% echo CATALINA_BASE: %CATALINA_BASE% echo JAVA_HOME: %JAVA_HOME% pause set BASEDIR=%CATALINA_HOME% call "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setclasspath.bat" set args=%args% --Description=TOMCAT1 set args=%args% --DisplayName=TOMCAT1 set args=%args% --Startup=auto set args=%args% --LogPath=%CATALINA_BASE%\logs set args=%args% --LogLevel=DEBUG set args=%args% --StdError=%CATALINA_BASE%\logs\tomcat1_err.log set args=%args% --StdOutput=%CATALINA_BASE%\logs\tomcat1_out.log set args=%args% --Classpath="%CLASSPATH%;%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar" set args=%args% --JavaHome=%JAVA_HOME% set args=%args% --Jvm=%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll set args=%args% --JvmOptions="-Xms128m;-Xmx512m;-Djava.library.path=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1;-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%;-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed" set args=%args% --StartMode=jvm set args=%args% --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap set args=%args% --StartParams=start rem set args=%args% --StartImage=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat5.exe rem set args=%args% --StartPath=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin; set args=%args% --StopMode=jvm set args=%args% --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap set args=%args% --StopParams=stop rem set args=%args% --StopImage=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat5.exe rem set args=%args% --StopPath=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat5.exe //IS//TomcatTest %args% set args= set BASEDIR= _____________________________________________________________________________ Now when we run the service and start the application - we get the following exception - java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\ocijdbc10.dll: Can't find dependent libraries at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1751) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1676) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:822) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:992) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection$1.run(T2CConnection.java:3135) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.loadNativeLibrary(T2CConnection.java:3131) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.logon(T2CConnection.java:221) at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.<init>(PhysicalConnection.java:414) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.<init>(T2CConnection.java:132) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CDriverExtension.getConnection(T2CDriverExtension.java:78) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:801) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DriverConnectionFactory.createConnection(DriverConnectionFactory.java:38) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.makeObject(PoolableConnectionFactory.java:294) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.validateConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:1247) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:1221) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:880) <<snipped>> Can anybody please help me locate how to fix the service installation script to avoid the exception. I am assuming since the regular command prompt way of starting tomcat works fine with the driver, its the service installation script which is missing something. Thanks, Rumpa Giri
