BUG??/Problems with using Xindice with tomcat
System prop:
OS: Win2000pro
ServletContainer: Tomcat4.0.1 (Standalone)
db Server : dbxml 1.0b4
I have some servlets collection info from xml-files stored in dbxml via
XML:DB api. To get these servlet running and accepting XMLDBException and
other classes from the api implementation shipped with dbxml by Tomcat I
have placed the 'dbXML.jar' and the 'xmldb.jar' in
{JAVA-HOME}/jre/lib/ext.
The problem is that as soon as the dbXML.jar is in this directory the bat
files shipped with dbxml don't work anymore. (No problems with
'xmldb.jar', though, but I need tem both..) I can't start or shutdown the db
server and I don't have access to the command tools.
But the server itself seems to be running smoothly if it is already
started before i add the 'dbxml.jar' to {JAVA-HOME}/jre/lib/ext.
Has anyone had any experience with this, and does anyone have a workaround
for it?? Or is this just a bug i have to live with?
I have tried to place these files in the 'jakarta-tomcat/lib' directory,
but that didn't work at all. Tomcat still trew javax.ServletException when
it didn't find them in the {JAVA-HOME}/jre/lib/ext...
Hope someone can enlighten me..

Have moved all libraries to web-inf/lib, and that works nicely. Still
don't know why placing dbXML.jar in {JAVA-HOME}/jre/lib/ext caused trouble
for dbxml xml database server, but who cares.. :-)

Are you sure its a good idea to "pollute" your java installation with
application specific libraries?
For reasons of neatness I wouldn't put anything in JAVA_HOME.
I would just put the jars in the /lib directory of Tomcat (if you're not
using Windows just soft link it).
That should sort any classpath problems, however, depending on what other
xml parsers you have under Tomcat, you might be having a conflict with
different parsers, which might cause a ServletException.
Cheers,
Ben

For a Tomcat deployment you should place the jars in the lib directory of
your webapp.

I don't know of any reason why that wouldn't work.
