I was trying to deploy pre-packaged WAR application into Tomcat 6 when I run into the following (partial) stacktrace
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String; at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1386) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1232) at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:635) at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:422) at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.contextInitialized(ConfigureListener.java:348)
Turned out - since I'm using jdk1.6 unlike 1.5 it will not attempt to load class (java.lang.String) by name by default, hence the exception.Since I'm running this from within Eclipse 3.4 - WTP it is easily solvable by locating JVM runtime in Eclipse's preferences (Window->Preferences->Installed JREs), highlighting the entry and adding runtime parameter -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
Add JVM runtime options
Save it and run your project, you should not see this problem anymore. If you are running straight Tomcat then add the same runtime option into Catalina.sh (Catalina.bat on Windows)
tks tks tks!
You help me a lot! =)
No problem, glad to be of help
Thank you very much for your help
This DOESN'T work. I tried it but it doesn't work.
I feel your pain! Try solution below comment from Peter
It's better if you put this value in JAVA_OPTS. If you compile in the console then it also works. Your solution it only works in eclipse.
Well – I think the tip was originally intended for Eclipse but I see your point, thanks!
GRacias!!!
