Tomcat War deployment issue

[Messak, Michel]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Web application with dotcms2.5 , Postgresql and a tomcat 7.0.55 with redhat. 

I made a "war-no-jsp" and i deployed it into tomcat as the ROOT application. 

I changed the ROOT.xml into the folder "tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost" and add my DB ressources. 

I add my JDBC driver and ojdbc5_g.jar into the folder "tomcat/lib/.

When i deployed my war, i restored my DB and i put all my assets into the ROOT folder. 

I restart my tomcat server and i have problems with VTL's indexing.

I go successfully to the backend portal but when I am trying to access the system maintenance task or to see my vtl files I got the following error.

 This is a copy of my log :

Could you please help me to fix that issue ?

Different versions of Tomcat implement different versions of the JSP and Servlet specs.  You can see the details here:  http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

Because of this dotCMS 2.5 only works with tomcat 6.x.  Code changes are required to make 2.5 work with Tomcat 7.  When version 3.0 comes out later this year it will work with Tomcat 7 or 6.  Also creating and deploying WARs will be much easier in version 3.0.

Hello,

I made a "war-no-jsp", and I am using a tomcat 6.0.43 and I have the same problem when i'm trying to use the CMS Maintenance task. That is what I get into the file "catalina.out" : http://pastebin.com/h1T6P889 . 

Best Regards,

Michel
