Description

The library geronimo-spec-j2ee-1.4-rc2.jar included in the Mule distribution conflicts with the servlet-api.jar included in the default Tomcat server (they both implement the class javax.servlet.Servlet).

I found the following workaround:
Replace $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/servlet-api.jar with geronimo-spec-j2ee-1.4-rc2.jar (rename it to "servlet-api.jar") and remove geronimo-spec-j2ee-1.4-rc2.jar from the Mule web app. This seems to work.

Thanks for reporting this. I think I will package Mule with seperate j2ee spec jars and ensure that the web app doesn't include the servlet jar.

Cheers,

Ross

I've changed the Mule deployment so that it doesn't use the geronimo-j2ee spec jar. Instead it uses the composite jars and doesn't ship with the servlet spec any more. The next release will reflect this change (1.0 April 14th)

cheers,
