[fedora-java] Starting Tomcat

[Charles Curley]

I have FC4 as updated, and a slew of Java packages installed in order
to run tomcat. I get the following error when trying to start it:

--------------------------------------------------
[root at taltos lib]# service tomcat5 start
Starting tomcat5: lock file found but no process running for pid 11395, continuing
/usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: could not find jta Java extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: All detected jars were not found for this jvm
find: warning: you have specified the -mindepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-mindepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other arguments.

find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other arguments.

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java
                                                           [  OK  ]
[root at taltos lib]#
--------------------------------------------------

I notice that /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/[jta].jar ->
/could/not/find/extension/for/this/jvm, which is a cute way of telling
me that the symlink is broken. OK, what should this link point to?

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

I have installed Sun's jvm via the jpackage proceedure.

--------------------------------------------------
[root at taltos lib]# pre sun
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-demo-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-devel-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-fonts-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-alsa-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.04-1jpp
java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0.04-1jpp
--------------------------------------------------

Do I need Sun's jdk in order to develop servlets?
