To cut to the chase: I've been debugging 236541 for a week now, and I've finally found the cause: gnu.javax.management.Server.registerMBean() is broken in Classpath. The problem is that it should send MBeanServerNotifications to its delegate whenever called, but it doesn't. The result of this is that the Tomcat embedded web server is broken, because its server contexts never get registered. As far as I am aware, every application that uses an embedded Tomcat is likely to be affected in the same way, and possibly standalone Tomcat as well. For the sake of comparison, MX4JMBeanServer.register() does this: delegate.sendNotification(new MBeanServerNotification (MBeanServerNotification.REGISTRATION_NOTIFICATION, delegateName, sequenceNumber, objectName)); So, what to do for Fedora 7? I'm sure there's no time to fix gnu.javax.management. So, I'm proposing this ln -sf /usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j.jar /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed There is one problem that I can see: mx4j is rather old, or at least the version in Fedora 7 is. Maybe some of the interfaces in Classpath are more recent, so perhaps we shouldn't do this globally for all uses of gcj. I'd appreciate comments.
