Question

Answer 1

A:

Are your CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME variables correct?

(they should be printed along with the CLASSPATH on startup).

I just tried exactly what you did (downloaded a fresh tomcat 6.0.26 on OS X 10.6.3), unzipped it (I downloaded the core/zip), then set all the .sh files to executable: (in the bin folder):

chmod a+x *.sh

After that, running startup.sh worked without a hitch.

I can only think that prior CATALINA variables are conflicting?

I've tried "chmod a+x *.sh", but result is same.Here's full log of ./startup.sh command:Using CATALINA_BASE: /Library/TomcatUsing CATALINA_HOME: /Library/TomcatUsing CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Library/Tomcat/tempUsing JRE_HOME: /Library/Java/HomeUsing CLASSPATH: /Library/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar

Answer 2

+2 A:

Probably your system classpath somehow get polluted with pre-2.5 servlet API jar.

You may check it by running java javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet - it should throw NoClassDefFound. If it throws NoSuchMethodError, check your classpath (especially CLASSPATH environment variable and lib/ext subfolder of JRE installation).

EDIT: Try the following code - at least it will show the location of the offending jar:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {   
        System.out.println(
            Test.class.getClassLoader().getResource("javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.class"));
    }
}

I've not set CLASSPATH variable and I can't find servlet API in /Library/Java/Home/lib/ext, but it throws NoSuchMethodError

Thanks :), with your code I've found jar which contained HttpServlet. It was Google's Closure library which I've had at /Users/giolekva/Lirary/Java/Extensions directory. Thanks again :)
