DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45459] New: Startup Listener error message unhelpful

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45459

           Summary: Startup Listener error message unhelpful
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.16
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: futung.cheng@yahoo.com


I get the following error on startup:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException:
 Class org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
 can not access a member of class
 com.mycom.Myclass
 with modifiers "private"

This occurs when the listener class does not have a public zero argument
constructor.  Could we improve the error message to make it a little easier
to understand?

It's too bad that the sun docs don't even mention the requirement:

http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/index.html?javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionListener.html

>>>

 web.xml:

 <listener>
   <listener-class>com.mycom.Myclass</listener-class>
 </listener>

 where Myclass is located inside my war in WEB-INF/class/com/mycom

The patch did not get enough votes from the committers to apply it to 6.0.x. A
summary of the comments is:
- we shouldn't we working around JDK error messages
- there is enough information in the stacktrace that your favourite search
engine will tell you what the issue is.

Therefore, I am closing this as won't fix. I will also revert the patch from
trunk.

This has been fixed in trunk and proposed for 6.0.x
