Question

I m trying to embed Equinox in a Servlet Container,being a newbie,
I am trying to deploy bridge.war from http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_in_container.php in tomcat 7 on linux.
catalina.out doesnt show any errors but if i try to access anything from tomcat, even the tomcat index page, it keeps trying to simply connect and does not turn up anything.

When I try to stop Tomcat server, i get the following errors :

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

    at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:337)

Has someone got this problem ? How can I get it working ?

Answer 1

well, it looks like you Tomcat has a big problem, totally regardless of Equinox.

To confirm that, remove bridge.war and its expanded folder, and restart TC, I think you’ll see the same problem.

My guess is that there is already some process using (one of) the ports TC wants to use, and Tomcat can not start properly, you should see something going wrong in catalina.out OR the localhost.* log file.
