Re: accessing servlets without a port number
Alex,
port 80 is the default port for http, so what you are wanting to do is
have tomcat listen on port 80 instead of 8080. to do this on a *nix box
you'd need to run tomcat as root (for 3.x anyway - I believe 4.0 has a
wrapper that does this properly), which isn't a good idea. alternatively,
if you are using apache as well, then you need to configure mod_jk.
a good place to start is the docs in the distribution - have a look at
mod_jk, or edit server.xml and change 8080 to 80.

Hi,
I'm installed Tomcat 4.06b on windows 2000 (and on windows 98), but i don't
moved the file servlet.jar, it's in the default directory C:\tomcat4\common\lib
and Tomcat works very well!
Best regards

Why are you moving servlet.jar - I'm a 3.2 user, but I just tried the tar
of 4.0b7 and it worked fine without moving anything.

I also found versions of jaxp.jar and crimson.jar under JAVA_HOME/lib/jaxp-1.1. Will those conflict with the ones in
CATALINA_HOME?

Good call Mark...I have a servlet.jar in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext as well as in an old installation of Tomcat. I removed
the servlet.jar under JAVA_HOME, and the JSPs work now. I'm very new to all this (Java development, classpaths, etc).

Likewise, everything else I use can either be added into CATALINA_HOME into one of the libs or referenced in the system
classpath. Thanks in advance.

Well, I had similar problems. I took a time until I realized that I had
overwritten the newer jar files in the tomcat_home/lib directory with the
older jar files from the b-5 version of Tomcat. Did you do the same mistake?

I think this probably comes from having an earlier version of the

Double check for an old copy of servlet.jar (or possibly jsdk.jar) in your
classpath, or in your system extensions directory
($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext). This particular error message happens whenever
there is more than one servlet.jar visible, and one of them is < servlet
2.3 / jsp 1.2.

I can't seem to get Tomcat4.0 running properly. The Servlet examplse work
fine but not the JSPs.
I get:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for

I didn't move anything around. I just installed it and the Servlet examples
work fine but not the JSPs.
Anyone else have this problem or know why?

Why are you doing this?
The Tomcat 4 binary distribution includes servlet.jar in the one and only
place where it works correctly (in the "common/lib" directory). You
should *not* move it anywhere else, or put it inside your web app.

You could also use ipchains or similar to foward requests on port 80 to
some other port i.e. 8080 to avoid running tomcat as root.
