I have installed myeclipse 5.0 and it works fine on my local host. I deployed the war file to my tomcat server 5.0 and it doesn’t work. I used to have it run fine with myeclipse 4.2 with tomcat server 5.0. What’s wrong?

Apache Tomcat/5.0.28

That’s not enough of an error to be able to diagnose what the problem is, but my first guess might be that your JDK version that you are running and compiling your projects with is Java 5, then when you deploy and run it, you are using Java 1.4 to do it, so the classes won’t run.

My second guess would be that you created a J2EE 1.4 project and are deploying it to Tomcat 5, which only supports J2EE 1.3 specification, in which case you should be able to see startup failures in the Tomcat log when it spins up on the remote machine.

Riad,

Thanks for your respond. Here are the scenarios and hope you can point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Prior to upgrade my PC to java 1.5, my PC was at java 1.4.2 with tomcat 5.0, and the app server is also running 1.4.2 JRE. I also have another app server with java 1.5 JRE and it also works.
Now, the PC got upgraded to java 1.5 and i was installing myeclipse 5.0 so i created new project to run with my tomcat 5.0. I ran into the deploy issue so i thought it was the version so i reinstalled myclipse 4.1 with eclipse 3.1.2.
I recreated my J2EE project with the default J2EE 1.4 and it ran successfully on my PC but not any of my app server, 1.4.2 or 1.5.

So, what should i do? Please advise.

Thanks.

That’s the problem then, try and create a new project using J2EE 1.3 and deploy it, it should work.

You can either then re-create your 1.4 project as a 1.3 project or you can upgrade to using Tomcat 5.5, which will accept a J2EE 1.4 project.

I did create a new project using J2EE1.3 and deployed it. Again, it only works w/ my tomcat 5.0 and java 1.5 on my laptop but not working on any of the app servers that both have tomcat 5.0 and java 1.5 and 1.4 respectively. Help !

Without more details it’s hard to help. This seems to be a configuration issue on your end with those additional app servers.

If you need my help please provide more details as to the exact errors you are getting.
