This is an upgrade from Apache2.0.59/Tomcat4.1.31/mod_jk 1.2.15 to Apache2.0.63/Tomcat4.1.37/mod_jk 1.2.36 on Netware 6.5 sp7. Except for JSP compiles, everything including HTML, servlets and precompiled JSPs works. Ant.jar is there in CATALINA_HOME\common\lib. The problem is with Ant v1.7 introduced in Tomcat4.1.36. If I use Ant v1.5 from Tomcat4.1.34 all works for me including JSP compiles. The current functioning environment Apache2.0.63/Tomcat4.1.37/Ant1.5/mod_jk1.2.26. I use configuration as here: http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-4/archive/v4.0.3/bin/netware/i386/Tomcat-on-NetWare-HowTo.html As an experiment:
When using Tomcat4.1.37 and Ant v1.7 without an explicit envset (default) CATALINA_CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_HOME;\common\lib\ant.jar in Tomcat.conf I get error: [antlib:org.apache.tools.ant] Could not load definitions from resource org/apache/tools/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found. When using Tomcat4.1.36/.37 and Ant v1.7 with an explicit envset CATALINA_CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_HOME;\common\lib\ant.jar in Tomcat.conf I get NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/AntMain Short story: Ant.jar from Tomcat4.1.34 compiles JSPs in Tomcat4.1.37. Ant.jar included with Tomcat4.1.37 errors. I saw this with Tomcat4.1.36 also. I am simply copying .conf files from older Apache/Tomcat to current versions. How would I troubleshoot this further?
