Hi all,

I`m having problems with Tomcat 5 startup in FC4.

The two main error messages are:
/usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: could not find jta Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: All detected jars were not
found for this jvm

Well, I used google and saw that I had to install geronimo-specs-compat, but when I used YUM to search for it, there`s no such package but geronimo-specs.noarch, that as you can see below, I installed it.

geronimo-specs.noarch 1.0-0.M2.3jpp installed
Matched from:
geronimo-specs
Geronimo J2EE server J2EE specifications
Geronimo is Apache's ASF-licenced J2EE server project.
These are the J2EE-Specifications

I have this geronimo jars installed:
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-jsp-2.0.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-j2ee-1.4.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-servlet-2.4.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-jsp-2.0-rc2.jar

/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-jta-1.0.1B-rc2.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-j2ee-connector-1.5.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-jta-1.0.1B.jar
/usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-j2ee-management-1.0-rc2.jar

I don`t know if it was the right thing to do, but i`ve created a symbolic link in /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/ de [jta].jar -> /usr/share/java/geronimo/spec-jta-1.0.1B-rc2.jar, because this was the only SL marked in RED.

After trying to start tomcat, the SL is lost, showing this red message:
[jta].jar -> /could/not/find/extension/for/this/jvm

Below is the error message:
====================================================

Any help?

I have to remember you that i`m newbie on linux, if i said some bullshit please forgive me.
Forgive my english too, it`s not my first language. :D

Is there any brazilian in this list? I wrote this message in portuguese, so I can send it in private.

Thanks in advance,
Cassio

Hello!

I do not about fedora but I usually do to make a startup in Debian and Mandrake:
1. Compile jsvc. Find the source code in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc-src
2. Create a start-up script, put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and make the necessary symlinks for the runlevels. Do that scritp base on that on $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc-src/startup.sh - Attention to the version you use.
3. Enjoi it

By the go to site of Apache Tomcat and grab all the documentations you find.

PS: Sory for my English! I speak Portuguese better.

But does it resolve the problem of the jta.jar symbolic link?

Thanks.

I do not know about that.
What I am trying to say is:
In Linux for an easy automatic startup you must have a daemon. That should resolve all the paths and classes needed.
It sounds me strange why fedora should use another strange class.

Ok man, I`ll try that too...

Thanks,
Cássio

P.S: Percebi agora que fala português, é Brasileiro também?

Hello!

Tell me then what happened.


Ps: Nao! Falo de Mocambique. No sudeste de Africa. Era mais facil se me deixassem falar em Portugues.
