Tomcat can't set 'source' property set in Host Context server.xml

Question

We have a web application running under Tomcat from Netbeans, I'm attempting to get it running under Tomcat from eclipse.

I created a server in eclipse, specifying the same tomcat 7 installation on my machine that is used to run from Netbeans. I understand that, when one does this, eclipse copies the catalina.base server files over to its own temp directory to keep them separate.

It also evidently makes some changes to the server.xml that it uses. In server.xml in the tomcat directory, the Host tag is this:

  <Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="true" name="localhost" unpackWARs="true">

But in the eclipse environment, it's

  <Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="true" name="localhost" unpackWARs="true">
            <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn"/>
    <Context docBase="myApp-war" path="/myApp" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:myApp-war"/>
   </Host>

after eliminating whitespace and comments.

Our problem is (evidently) that the runtime doesn't have a source property to which to assign the value in the Context tag. We found no source documented in the Tomcat 7.0 documentation for 'Host / Context', and at runtime we have the following in the Console:

We figure it cannot handle SSL connections because it is unable to initialize the connector. We also don't know why it wouldn't be able to find the APR library, since this is the same installation of Tomcat used by Netbeans, and it gives no such error message then.

Can anyone help us understand what's going wrong here? We figure there's some kind of configuration thing we've missed.

IN CASE IT'S RELEVANT - There used to be similar SetPropertyRule warnings about several other APR-specific properties found in our connector configuration. We added protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol" to the Connector to make the APR protocol explicit, evidently Netbeans infers it or takes it as default or something. That eliminated the APR-property-specific warnings, but left us with this one.

=== EDIT

Here are the two connectors we have in server.xml:

<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"/>

<!-- SSL Connector Configuration-->
<Connector 
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
SSLCertificateFile="${catalina.base}\conf\ssl_crt\mycert\server.crt" 
SSLCertificateKeyFile="${catalina.base}\conf\ssl_crt\mycert\server.key"

And the entire log file, including the error messages:

Answer 1

You are telling Tomcat to use the APR connector, and the APR library cannot be located. Your java.library.path system property has a very large number of paths in it:

• C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_07\\bin
• C:\\Windows\\Sun\\Java\\bin
• C:\\Windows\\system32
• C:\\Windows
• C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_07\\jre\\bin
• C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_91/bin/server
• C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_91/bin
• C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_91/lib/amd64

• C:\\Windows\\system32
• C:\\Windows
• C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem
• C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\
• C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\OpenCL SDK\\2.0\\bin\\x86
• C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\OpenCL SDK\\2.0\\bin\\x64
• C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\DTS\\Binn\\
• C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\Client SDK\\ODBC\\110\\Tools\\Binn\\
• C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\Tools\\Binn\\ManagementStudio\\
• C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\Tools\\Binn\\
• C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\Tools\\Binn\\

• C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Windows Performance Toolkit\\
• c:\\Program Files\\Apache\\apache-cxf-3.1.6\\bin
• C:\\Windows\\system32
• . (the current working directory of the process)

If this works "in Netbeans", then I suspect that one of the following are the problem:

1. NetBeans is specifying a different java.library.path system property when launching Tomcat
2. NetBeans is using a different current-working-directory when launching Tomcat

In either case, the tcnative library must be in a place that Tomcat can find it. You need to put the tcnative , apr , and openssl libraries all in a location that is present in the java.library.path system property.

I would recommend putting them in a predictable directory (like %CATALINA_HOME%/bin ) and then explicitly-setting java.library.path to %CATALINA_HOME%/bin when launching Tomcat.
