servlet deployment / openorb-1.2.0.jar

[Richard Dallaway <ri...@dallaway.com>]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong to cause a "Cannot create resource URL. 
Please set the openorb.home property" error?

I've been trying to deploy a serlvet which calls Xindice into Tomcat 
4.0.1.  I thought I'd be able to bundle all the required JARs into the 
web deployment and all would be fine.

My WAR file contains:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF/
WEB-INF/lib/
WEB-INF/lib/openorb-1.2.0.jar
WEB-INF/lib/xalan-2.0.1.jar
WEB-INF/lib/xerces-1.4.3.jar
WEB-INF/lib/xindice.jar
WEB-INF/lib/xml-apis-1.0.jar
WEB-INF/lib/xmldb.jar
...along with all my classes and JSPs etc.

When I deploy this and try my servlets out I get:

org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: A connection to the Database instance 
'db' could not be created. Error: Cannot create resource URL. Please set 
the openorb.home property.
	at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl.init(Unknown Source)
	at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl.getCollection(Unknown Source)
	at org.xmldb.api.DatabaseManager.getCollection(DatabaseManager.java:194)
	at org.xmldb.api.DatabaseManager.getCollection(DatabaseManager.java:157)
	at 
com.dallaway.books.servlets.XindiceSearchServlet.init(XindiceSearchServlet.java:91)

This exception is thrown from:
	collection = DatabaseManager.getCollection(db); (line 91, above)

To get this error to go away,  I added openorb-1.2.0.jar to Tomcat's 
classpath.  So...that works... but it's not a great way to deploy an app.

Better ways? Clues? Please?

Thanks
Richard

Thanks for the clue... that works fine for me now.

Just get rid of OpenORB. The client side of the equation should work fine 
with the default ORB included with the JVM. OpenORB is only really needed 
on the server.
