SSL with Tomcat 5 and apache axis

Hi,

Im trying to configure tomcat to use SSL and I've followed the steps in the how-to guide and i cant get it to work. I changed the server.xml to allow for SSL using the following

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10" debug="0"
scheme="https" secure="true">
<Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory"
keystoreFile="c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps\WSOverSSL\axis\server.keystore"
keystorePass="changeit"
clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/>
</Connector>

But tomcat wont start when I put in the Factory element. I had initally used tomcat-jwsdp-1.4, would this have over riden anything or something. If anyone can help would much appricate it!

Thanks,
Suzy

when tomcat doesnt start im not getting an exception that i can see, its not in the logs. if i take the factory element out its still doesnt run. I get the following when i run startup.bat

C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\bin>startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_02

What does it display if you type:

catalina.bat start

instead of startup.bat

?

TimYates

Sory, I meant:

catalina.bat run

Catalina.start using conf/server.xml: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apac
he.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector

i took it out be still doesnt work.

Where did you install Tomcat? Does the path contain any special characters (space, "+", "-" etc)?

fyness

ASKER

its in stalled in jakarka-tomcat-5.0.27 on my c drive, the path is just jakarka-tomcat-5.0.27/bin

girionis

Did you try to run it before you installed the SSL? It might be that there was a problem with the installation. You might need to reinstall Tomcat.

fyness

ASKER

works fine without the ssl connection been opened i.e. removing the tags from the server.xml

girionis

Can you check Tomcat's jar files to see in which jar file the HttpConnector is? And also can you tell us the location of this class?

fyness

ASKER

I cant find the jar's actually im having trouble getting my localhost page up now. Im also getting this error

Is that when you are running Tomcat or when you try to access your page?

I believe that a re-installation of Tomcat would have solved the problem.

I had to export classpaths in bashrc to get it working

You can have the points though

THanks for you help
