probe is unpacked but nothing happens

[just]

I see that java-monitor.war unpacks but I see no messages in the tomcat log and my server does not appear on java-monitor.com. The configuration is: tomcat 5.0.28 with jdk1.5.0_10 on debian sarge (yes somewhat dusty config). Is a higher tomcat version required ?

Dear Just,

Hmm. Older versions of Tomcat should just work fine. I recently fixed the probe to deal with older versions of Tomcat bette (http://java-monitor.com/forum/project.php?issueid=7)r. That should have given you a stacktrace, though.

Is this Debian's repackaged Tomcat, or one from Apache.org? If it is the repackaged one, it could be that the security manager is in the way (http://java-monitor.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33), blocking all access to the outside world. If this is the case, debugging this issue is made more difficult because the same package basically switches off all logging.

If this is not the repackaged one, then I'd love to know what you changed from the default installation. I just tried Java-monitor in 5.0.28 and it seems to work fine. You could try downloading the probe again, just to make sure.

Dear Keesjan,

I now see your reply. In the meantime I had upgraded TC to 5.5.27. Now the probe deployed and registered. In 5.0.28 I didn't see any stacktrace, just war-unpacking and silence. 5.0.28 and 5.5.27 came from apache.org using a install by upacking with only server.xml modified. In 5.5.27 I mainly copied the relevant <Host> sections from the 5.0.28 server.xml to the 5.5.27 server.xml. The rest of my install works with dynlinks and everything like www.pushlets.com and www.geoskating.com seems to work.

Dear Just,

I found an interesting exception in the log files. Could you tell approximately me what time you were trying to deploy in the Tomcat that did not work?

Dear Just,

That's not it, then. This exception was on the 20th.

Glad to hear that it works.
