Re: AntiResourceLocking Side Effect
Hi Jonathan,
I also used antiResourceLocking flag in context.xml. Once the flag is set
to true, Tomcat starts exploding web application in temp directory. It works
well for me in Linux and Windows environment, but in AIX, I cannot even
start tomcat with antiResourceLocking flag set to true.
When I saw the my application folder in temp, I saw all files were of zero
bytes. And in the catalina logs I see it gives SAX parse exception. Well
since all files including web.xml is of 0 bytes, then tomcat cannot start.
Have you noticed this problem. I am using tomcat 6.018.
Thanks,
Vikas Sharma

Re: AntiResourceLocking Side Effect
Posted by Jonathan Holloway <jo...@gmail.com>.
I can't say I have seen this issue having not deployed on AIX. This problem
was specifically
on Windows and Linux (the actual side effect I saw).
It doesn't sound like it's permissions based since the files you mention are
actually created.
If you're starting tomcat via the sh file under AIX try starting it with the
-x flag and see if it gives
you any clues as to whether it's not starting.
Hope that helps,
Jon.
