To be honest I thought that tomcat could see the xalan-j libraries
because they're linked by ant, but I never tested it so they obviously
aren't.
For FC3 we're switching to a JPackage-based system, so issues like
this ought to be resolved by that. I'm going to leave this bug open
to remind me to check that they are handled.
Thanks for the report.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and this bug refers to tomcat version 4.x, last shipped in FC2. tomcat5 replaced it, and has quite a few differences, so please retest the bug. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040612 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Examples work, simple JSPs work. But I'm testing a third party app which makes heavy use of tag libraries, XML and XSLTs with xalan based parsing. Although I have both xalan-j and xalan-j-xsltc tomcat will NOT include them in the class path neither lib-org-apache-xalan-2.4.1.so,lib-org-apache-xalan-xsltc-2.4.1.so nor xalan-2.4.1.jar,xalan-j-xsltc-2.4.1 And then, when processing the JSP page, Tomcat bangs on me complaining with the following Root Cause: javax.servlet.ServletException: Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found As soon as I delete any taglib references, the page gets processed. The cause for this errors is that, any extension added AFTER tomcat, will not get linked into the /usr/share/tomcat/common/lib directory, so they will not appear in tomcat's own class path. Making the links by hand gets everything going smooth. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tomcat-4.1.27-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install tomcat-4.1.27-13 with xalan-j-2.4.1 and xalan-xsltc-2.4.1 2. Use page with tab libraries, tomcat bangs with errors in /var/log/tomcat/localhost.log 3. Remove tag libraries from page, page gets processed. 4. Reintroduce tag libraries, errors reappear. 5. Make symbolic links for xalan-j (.so and .jar) in /usr/share/tomcat/common/lib 6. Restart tomcat 7. xalan is in classpath, JSPs with taglibraries start working. Actual Results: Simple JSPs are processed. JSPs with tatg libraries don't. Nothing related to xalan gets included in the class path. Once symbolic links are hand crafted, xalan appears in claspath and JSPs work. Expected Results: The page shoud have been processed normally. Additional info: There should be a proccess for creating symlinks of useful things for tomcat or tomcat should be made dependent on important things such as xalan-j
