Embedding Tomcat in a Java application...

[George Thomas]

Hi all,
I've been trying to get the code from an article
on the O'Reilly site to work. It starts an instance of tomcat inside a java application.
For me, tomcat starts except a message is displayed "Couldn't create connector."
This is the result of the following statement:

Connector connector = embedded.createConnector(null, 8080, false);

Tomcat is running but cannot be reached using
http://localhost:8080/
Anybody try this?
Here is the url:

Thanks,
George.

Out of the blue thought: is something else (including another Tomcat instance) already running that is listening on port 8080?
hth,

Nope,
All tomcat services are shut down.
I even tried port 9090 but to no avail.
Thanks,
George.

You should use the same connector as Tomcat 4.x use.

CoyoteConnector connector = (CoyoteConnector) embedded.createConnector(null, 8080, false);

this is the jar-files i'm using:

servlet.jar
tools.jar
ant.jar
jndi.jar
bootstrap.jar
commons-collections.jar
jasper-runtime.jar
jasper-compiler.jar
naming-resources.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-common.jar
catalina.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-logging.jar
jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar
servlets-common.jar
servlets-default.jar
servlets-invoker.jar
servlets-manager.jar
servlets-webdav.jar
tomcat-coyote.jar
tomcat-http11.jar
tomcat-util.jar
log4j.jar
