Description David Tiller 2005-03-22 22:24:53 UTC
The Tomcat 5.5 documentation states that catalina.jar is the only jar required
on the classpath to run org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase.main. (See
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/realm-howto.html#Digested%20Passwords)

UNDER 5.0.28:
If run with only catalina.jar, you get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
javax/management/MBeanRegistration

Adding the $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/jmx.jar to the classpath fixes this exception, but
then you get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

Adding $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/commons-logging-api.jar permits the program to run properly.

UNDER 5.5.7:
No jar distributed with Tomcat 5.5.7 contains
javax/management/MBeanRegistration. If you add 5.0.28's jmx.jar and 5.5.7's
commons-logging-api.jar, it works.

Please correct the documentation (which is incorrect for Tomcat 5.5) and perhaps
include JMX.jar with the latest distribution.

OK, docs corrected.  There are license issues with including just any JMX jar,
but we do include an implementation with the distro.
