To return expected results, you can:

  • Reduce the number of search terms. Each term you use focuses the search further.
  • Check your spelling. A single misspelled or incorrectly typed term can change your result.
  • Try substituting synonyms for your original terms. For example, instead of searching for "java classes", try "java training"
  • Did you search for an IBM acquired or sold product ? If so, follow the appropriate link below to find the content you need.
  • Check the following for errors logged:

  • Go to the Windows Event Viewer and look under Applications. See if there are any errors for Tomcat5.exe. An example of a captured error:
    Faulting application name: tomcat5.exe, version: 1.0.2.0, time stamp: 0x4b7e5697
    Faulting module name: J9PRT23.dll, version: 2.3.0.57823, time stamp: 0x4be80b50
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x000000000000ca5f
    Faulting process id: 0x22c4
    Faulting application start time: 0x01cc326a1d40ce8d
    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin\tomcat5.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\program files\ibm\JazzTeamServer\server\jre\bin\J9PRT23.dll
    Report Id: 5d6ffeaf-9e5d-11e0-953b-889ffaf61ab9

  • Check the stderr_<date>.log file found under [JazzTeamServer Install Directory]\server\tomcat\logs\ and see if the following error is logged:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
    at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:497)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:639)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:605)
    at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:222)
    at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:410)

  • Check the Java Options shown for tomcat5w.exe :
  • Go to [JazzTeamServer Install Dir]\server\tomcat\bin\
  • Double-click tomcat5w.exe
  • Click the Java tab
  • In the Java Options section, ensure that you have the following options listed in addition to the options found from the setup guide on how to run Apache Tomcat as a Windows service:
  • Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat
  • Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat
  • Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\common\endorsed
  • Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\temp
  • Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
  • Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\conf\logging.properties
  • Resolving The Problem

    If you find the above errors logged and are missing the default Java Options , follow these steps:

  • In the Apache Tomcat Properties window (tomcat5w.exe), add the following default Java options, making sure to edit the path to reflect the correct JazzTeamServer installation path
  • Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat
  • Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat
  • Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\common\endorsed
  • Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\temp
  • Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
  • Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\conf\logging.properties
  • Start the service.
    It should start successfully now that the default Java Options are restored.
    If the service fails to start, check the event and tomcat logs again
