J2ee.jar in WEB-INF/lib or not ?

[M Galevsky]

Hi all,

When I deploy my webapp on Tomcat v5.5.25, I can read this info:

INFO: validateJarFile(C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\workspace\myApp\WEB-INF\lib\j2ee.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class

I have read that it is caused by Servlet implementation duplication in both TOMCAT_HOME\common\lib\servlet-api.jar and WEB-INF\libj2ee.jar. And that I should remove j2ee.jar lib.

Good, but if I remove it, several classes cannot be resolved, namely:

- javax.ejb.*
- javax.transformation.*
- javax.jms.*


My problem is that I failed to find an implementating jar of these classes, so that j2ee.jar still remains required for the build stage.

Any advice ? How you guys deal with that issue ?

Many thanks for your support,

Galevsky.

I just found the solution in topic

Tomcat is NOT an EJB container. Let's continue to link with J2ee.jar if I want to use Tomcat, or migrate to JBoss...
