Description Dale Ogilvie 2005-10-20 07:19:14 UTC

When installed tomcat fails to start. The problem is that the default 
JAVA_HOME in catalina.sh is /usr/lib/java. In Suse 9.3 this was a symbolic 
link to /usr/lib/jvm/java, which is the correct place. In my Suse 10 retail 
install (KDE plus java) /usr/lib/java is a directory containing 
libreadline-java-0.8.0.jar.

Thanks for the report.
Right now, I can't recreate the problem. On my computer (and on others) /usr/lib/java contains 
bin  include  jre  lib
which should be alright.
Could  you give me more information of which Java you exactly installed (version & vendor (sun / ibm / bea) ... please use output from:

rpm -qa | grep -i java | grep -i "\(sun\|ibm\|bea\)"

Did you cleanly install SUSE 10.0 or update from 9.3?

Which version of tomcat do you exactly use? Please use output from 

rpm -qa | grep -i tomcat

These infos could help me solving the problem.
Thanks,
Daniel

This was a fresh install of Suse 10, not an upgrade.

Comment 4 Daniel Bornkessel 2005-11-25 10:11:50 UTC

Sorry, you were right. I just installed the Java stuff in a clean environment and had the same problem.
To be sure I will fix the tomcat package (let it point to /usr/lib/jvm/java) and the Java packages as well.
Thanks for the infos,
Regards,
Daniel

Comment 5 Daniel Bornkessel 2005-11-25 16:32:17 UTC

Patched catalina.sh so that it detects erroneous JAVA_HOME variable.
