Problem: Server Ode v1.x Server at localhost failed to start.

when you want to start the Apache ODE server, you may have this problem:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/juli/logging/LogFactory
at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.<clinit>(Bootstrap.java:55)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.juli.logging.LogFactory
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)

Analyse: miss the tomcat-juli.jar in the Classpath
check by: echo $CLASS_PATH
if the reply is empty, that is.
so you can add the tomcat-juli.jar into the classpath.

Solution:
1. double-click on the ODE server entry in the Servers view; this should open the server configuration editor



2. in the configuration editor, click the "Open launch configuration" link
3. select "Classpath" in the launch configuration dialog and then "Add externals jars..."
4. navigate to your $CATALINA_HOME/bin and select the tomcat-juli.jar



Hope that helps
Bob
