I can get Castor to work with jdk1.5.0 & Tomcat4.1.24, but not with Tomcat5.5.9. I have included the commons-logging.jar in my context, but to no avail. The behaviour is to exit the try block without completing it, but not entering the catch block. I am using castor0.9.6-xml.jar. Any ideas?
Haven't a clue but ... [broken link removed] is now available in case that addresses this problem. The release notes do mention:
Castor and Java 5
Several bugs have been fixed to allow use of Castor with a JDK 1.5. This mainly involved preventing compilation problems due to variable names et al. that were in conflict with new Java 5 naming conventions (e.g. use of enum as a variable name).
Another thought is try out some of the forums on boards.ie. Some more te4ch questions over there. Or check linux.ie mailing list. Always someone on there with a clue on apache/tomcat and the like.
