configuration issue
I am still relatively new to the "non-Microsoftian" way of doing things,
so please forgive this question. I have downloaded tomcat 5 and
extracted the zip file to the hard drive (I am still using Windows BTW).
I have started the server using the 'startup.bat' file and I have tested
it using http://locahost:8080 <http://locahost:8080/> and everything
works perfectly. However, when I attempt to access the server from the
internet (not on our LAN here at the house), I am unable to do so. I
realize that I am more than likely overlooking some tiny configuration
issue probably found somewhere in one of the configuration xml files
somewhere.
If you would.please humor me this one time! Thanks in advance for the
response.

ClassLoader Issues: ServletContext method undefined....
Posted by Andrew Hughes - LISAsoft <ah...@lisasoft.com.au>.
Greetings,
I'm running both tomcat v4.0.4 and 4.1.24. Both of them have now an
error when I try and execute a servlet I have written. I have not
changed any of the lib files but I am now unexplainably receiving the
following exception from tomcat.
/The method getInitParameter(String) is undefined for the type ServletContext/
The API says it has such a method, however it is obviouly loading another package/class or not loading the "servlet.jar" package at all.
If anyone has any knowledge of why this may have happened and how to fix it I would love to know.
Cheers!

He'll also have to setup a Host for that domain name, or at least an Alias
to localhost in server.xml.

Accessing http://wdwr.dynu.com would only look for services running on port
80, where Tomcat by default listens on port 8080.
You have a few options, you can setup DYNU to point to 8080 (if they do that,
I use dyns.cx and they do), you can access your machine by finding out your
current dynamic IP (your modem probably has a status page for this) then use
http://your.ip.here:8080 or if you don't have any other servers running on
port 80 then you can go into $TOMCAT_HOME\conf\server.xml and change 8080 to
80.

I have a DNS service called DYNU. I use that for remote desktop and FTP
and stuff like that. I know the service works fine b/c I have used it
MANY times, but when I try to put in http://wdwr.dynu.com (which is my
domain for dynu), it doesn't work. This is all I had to do to get it
work for IIS, but tomcat is obviously different. Again, any help would
be greatly appreciated!!

Hmm, for public win2k machine, I didn't do anything, just pointed the
domain name to the ip. Typing the http://www.[domain name].com worked
for me.

I'm no expert but I think you will find that the problem is not tomcat.
Yep you need a public ip for it to work, and I would say a dns entry
somewhere also. For example, if your machine is called 'fred' you should
be able to 'ping fred.yourdomain.com' and recieve a reply. At the moment
I'm guessing you can only ping the ip number address. A dns entry will
link that PUBLIC ip address number to the dns entry 'fred.yourdomain.com'
I don't know how to fix the problem (especially in windows, I'm linux),
but I can tell you what I think it is.
Hope this helps you out.

You need a public ip for this to work.
