Anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong here or where I might look to figure out what's up?  Thanks!

It looks like you might possibly have two separate java instances installed. you have the openjdk java shipped by centos, but there are also some packages java-sun* packages as well from a mamba repository. Depending on your setup, it's possible that you're not using the proper java jvm to run your setup. Can you verify that you're using the proper java jvm environment?

The thing that currently has me stumped is that it all blows up when I upgrade the Tomcat package. None of the configs have changed. I can update the base OS and it still all works fine. Install Tomcat package, errors. How many different places does Cent try to set Java? I've found server.xml, tomcat5.conf, /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 so far.....any I've missed?

Also from what I've gathered is that "rebuild-jar-repository" isn't part of a standard Tomcat install. Is "rebuild-jar-repository" trying to accomplish something special missing in a standard Tomcat install?

From: Frank Even Date: Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 11:55 AM Subject: tomcat errors starting after upgrade from cent5.3 to 5.5 (/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find) To: centos

We just upgraded Cent from 5.3 to 5.5 on a bunch of servers with little to no issues (kudos to you guys) except on a few servers where it appears we are having a problem w/ the Tomcat upgrade.  Previously our application server was working fine under 5.3 with Tomcat/Java installed as such:

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.30.b09.el5 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-0.30.b09.el5 java-sun-jdbc-stdext-2.0.1-1mamba java-sun-jdbc-stdext-javadoc-2.0.1-1mamba tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1

Now that we've run the full update, we have this installed:

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.16.b17.el5 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.16.b17.el5 java-sun-jdbc-stdext-2.0.1-1mamba java-sun-jdbc-stdext-javadoc-2.0.1-1mamba tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tzdata-java-2010l-1.el5

I don't see any significant changes.  All of the configs appear to be the same.   Yet now on our application startup, we see the following:

Starting tomcat5: /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jdbc-stdext Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jndi Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Some detected jars were not found for this jvm /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jaas Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Some detected jars were not found for this jvm

....what could have changed to have caused these issues?  Having trouble hunting this down.  Any help that could be provided would be sincerely appreciated.

Bah! It does appear it was using the incorrect version of Java. All of the configs are as they were previously though...so find it odd that it was working before and not now...but it was different than another box as of yet upgraded that was still working correctly.

Anyway...it's working now. Thanks for the help. JAVA_HOME in /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf was apparently "incorrect."

alternatives --display java

The system java could be pointed to a couple different places via the alternatives framework.

No idea. You might also need to double check the permissions for /var/lib/tomcat/* if you had anything special set in there. the updated rpm can change file permissions back to rpm defaults, which might impact certain apps.
