Thanks for the comment, but I reinstalled tomcat and everything is running properly now. Although the error still bothers me. If anyone knows why it occurs, I'm still interested in knowing.

Okay, I did a little more digging, and figured out that catalina.jar is in TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib.
I don't think I should have to (because I've never had to before) put this on my classpath. Tomcat should find it, should it not?

what is catalina.core.StandardServer? I have servlet.jar in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib. And it was working previously. The only changes I've made are to the servlet.xml file, and that was just to add a new context.
thanks,

So this would be valid then?
<forward name="payment" path="https://mypayment/service.html"/>
c.

<p>
I need to pass information to a payment service site in my struts application. To do this i have to link to another site. I would like to do this via my Action by using a forward of some type. Is this possible? Can I do it with a sendRedirect? How do you "link" to a URL in an Action class?
</p>
<p>
The other option is to put the website address in the forms action parameter, ie: <form action="https://paymentsite.html">. Is there a way to use the struts html form taglib to do this?

Hello,
Is there any way to set a custom image in the Java Help Browser title bar? I set the <title> tag in the *.hs file, but it doesn't have an image tag.

ok that message didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to. I have typed & h a r r into my web page. This should write out a double arrow ↔, but instead it writes out the & h a r r. & l t and & g t write out < >, why won't & h a r r write out ↔?

Hello,
I am using JEditorPane to display HTML documents in my application. The application reads the html page and sets that as the content of the JEditorPane.
My problem is that I am trying to display a double arrow (&harr using "↔" but instead of displaying the double arrow, it writes out "&harr" to the screen. My content type is set to "text/html", and characters like "<" and ">" print out <, and >. How do I get "&harr" to print a double arrow?
thanks,

My JFrame instantiates a JDialog, which I want to be modal, for that JFrame. When I make the JDialog modal, it does not let me get to it's parent (which is good), but I cannot interact with the JDialog's parents parent either (which is bad).
How do I make a JDialog modal to only it's immediate parent?
Thank you,
c.

Hello,
Can anybody tell me where the errata for the "java 2 web developer certification study guide" by Natalie Levi is located?
Thanks,

Ok, I need to convince certain people who do not know much about java, and only know a little about cold fusion why using java for web applications is better than cold fusion (besides the standard, "cold fusion sucks"). Please inundate me with valid reasons.
thanks,
c.

I like writing J2EE applications in java. I don't know much about cold fusion. How do I convince potential clients who are used to cold fusion to switch to java? Anyone want to help me out here?
thanks,

I am wondering exactly how long a request object lasts for. I am submitting some form data to a servlet. In certain instances the servlet forwards the request to a different servlet, which then goes to another jsp using :
request.getRequestDispatcher("/servlet").forward(request, response);
Do I still have access to all of the request objects parameters/attributes in the second servlet? And if so, can you forward to n servlets and still keep a hold of the request parameters/attributes?
thanks,
C.

Thanks for the help, but the problem was solved by granting all privileges to [email protected].

Hi,
I have done a:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON therezworks.* TO chris@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass'
but I still see the error.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I am able to connect to mysql using:
mysql -u chris -p
and access all of the tables in my database, but I am not given access when attempting to get to them via a servlet.
