RE: realm implementation class cannot access catalina RealmBase c lass

["HAVENS,PETER (HP-Cupertino,ex3)" <pe...@hp.com>]

Craig,

I tried your advice below but I was unable to get it to work.  I put my
realm implementation class in a jar file and put that in
$CATALINA_HOME/server/lib.  The contents of Catalina.out are attached as
Catalina.out.1

For a second attempt I tried updating the Catalina.jar with my class files
and this also did not work.  The contents of Catalina.out are attached as
Catalina.out.2

When I write my class as a part of the org.apache.catalina.realm package all
works fine.  The name of the class is NativeOSRealm in both cases.

Any ideas?

-Peter

Your JAR file needs to be visible to the class loader that Catalina uses
for loading it's internal classes.  For more information, see one of the
following links depending on which Tomcat version you are using:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html

Basically, your JAR file needs to be put in $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib to
be visible to the right code.
