GateIn在Tomcat下启动报错

      正好公司想要做一个门户网站系统，因此查询了一些开源项目，找到了GateIn。先不说项目好坏，本文主要记录一下GateIn配置在Tomcat下启动时抛出的错误及解决的方法。

 

      先说一下运行环境，OS: Windows XP SP3, JDK:1.6.0, Tomcat为GateIn应用程序自带，应该为6.0.28。在启动GateIn应用的过程中需要通过命令行的方式运行 gatein.bat，这个需要注意一下。在console内输入"gatein.bat run"(不包括冒号)，即可启动Tomcat。在启动的过程中抛出如下错误：

异常的原因可以看到：

Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: JAXB 2.0 API is being loaded from the bootstrap classloader, but this RI (from jar:file:/E:/GateIn/lib/jaxb-impl-2.1.7.jar!/com/sun/xml/bind/v2/model/impl/ModelBuilder.class) needs 2.1 API. Use the endorsed directory mechanism to place jaxb-api.jar in the bootstrap classloader. (See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/)

      解释一下，错误提示说的是“链接错误”，原因是启动类加载器预先加载了 JAXB 2.0 API。但是当前应用的RI(jaxb-impl-2.1.7.jar)需要的是JAXB 2.1 API。可以使用endorsed目录机制替换掉JAXB 2.0，使JAXB 2.1加载到类加载器重。笔者随后到GateIn的lib文件夹下面找到了jaxb-api-2.1.jar和jaxb-impl-2.1.7.jar。错误提示说impl包没有找到2.1版本的jar包，但2.1.jar的确存在lib文件夹下，为什么没有加载呢？或者说新版本的jar包为什么没有替换掉旧版本的jar包？

 

     在以下的链接中看到了一些提示，http://jaxb.java.net/guide/Migrating_JAXB_2_0_applications_to_JavaSE_6.html 。JavaSE 6 update 4之前，rt.jar包中集成了jaxb-api-2.0.jar。update4之后，JavaSE 6全部集成jaxb-api-2.1.jar。并提示了update4之前的解决方法。试了第一种，也就是在$JRE_HOME/lib/下面建立endorsed文件夹，然后拷贝jaxb-api-2.1.jar文件以替换旧版本文件。这种方法没有实质效果。在queue19的博客中找到了原因，http://queue19.iteye.com/blog/418748。如果是Tomcat 5.5,则新建文件路径为“Tomcat 5.5\common\endorsed”，如果是Tomcat 6.0，则新建路径为“Tomcat 6.0\endorsed”。(此处引用queue19文章内容，非本人撰写)

    还有一种方法就是将JDK 6版本升级，升级到updat4版本之后。本人选择的此种方法，问题顺利解决掉。
