Hi all
I�ve got a problem with "Tomcat 5.0.16 Embedded" in our application.
A few days ago i�ve written a little bootstrapping class for our application.
We use it so we do not have to add each jar to the classpath but can mention
dir/*.jar in a config file.
The bootstrapper creats a URLClassloader, adds all jars/dirs mentioned in a cfg
file, uises teh nw classloader to load the launcher class of the application
and then launches the main method. After this, the application itself starts up
tomcat embedded after some time.
During startup the following exception comes up:
20040125 22:26:39.515 INFO org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded  - Starting
tomcat server
20040125 22:26:39.859 INFO org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine - Starting

Thats how i launch tomcat in the app:
embedded = new Embedded();
embedded.setDebug(0);
engine = embedded.createEngine();
engine.setName("test");
host = embedded.createHost("localhost", getPath() + "/embedws");
engine.setDefaultHost(host.getName());
engine.addChild(host);
Context context = embedded.createContext("", getPath() + "/embedws
/webapps/ROOT");
host.addChild(context);
embedded.addEngine(engine);
connector = embedded.createConnector("0.0.0.0", getPort(), false);
embedded.addConnector(connector);
try {
embedded.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Could not start Tomcat:",e);
}
The strange thing is that tomcat cannot find the HttpServlet class while
loading the first context (which contains servlets).
All libraries in the lib directory ($CATALAINA_HOME/lib) are in the URL-List of
the URLClassloader used by the bootstrapper class.
Looks like i�ve got a problem with the webapp-classloader...
Can anybody give me advice?
greets,
mike
