When I tried to upload a war file in the manager app, the following error occured. This problem doesn't exist on the latest 5.5.16 tarball downloaded directly from Apache

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception

I believe this class is present in commons-io 1.1. Please upgrade to that version, then either copy the jar into the approriate tomcat folder, or rebuild tomcat to pick it up automatically.

I've rebuilt tomcat5 and I got the error. After some pondering, I've found out that the tomcat5 Portfile did not declare its dependency completely. commons-io is obviously dependent but missing. As I had no java libraries installed in Darwinports before, I relied on darwinports to pull all the jars down for me, which in turns relies on the tomcat5 Portfile, which is incomplete.

You are right. Tomcat5 should have a dependency onto commons-io. Thanks for being persistant.

Commited.
