HTTP Server sits at status JVAW with V4R4 Websphere Application Server 1.1

["Christopher J. Jewell" <jewellcj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with V4r4 Websphere 1.1.
Our HTTP server is correctly set up and works fine without Websphere. When I
choose to enable Servlets and JSP with Websphere from the HTTP Server
Configuration Page, and restart the server instance, the server job stays at
status JVAW and does not move to CNDW. The WRKACTJOB entry is as shown
below:


 LAF400       QTMHHTTP    BCH     5.6  PGM-QZHBHTTP     JVAW

Amazingly, the job has an open empty spooled file QPRINT which is obviously
there to spool a Java exception, but the job log doesn't give any further
information.

When the server instance is ended, the spooled file contains a Java
Exception Trace Stack as shown at the end of this message. I have associated
the Server Instance with Websphere using the #ncf.native.httpd.cnf.path
property in the jvm.properties file following the instructions at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/
docs/as400v11/wasgs44.htm

The problem seems to be due to the classpath as the JVM cannot find the
class 'com/ibm/servlet/service/SEServletManager'. My
'ncf.jvm.use.system.classpath' property is set to 'true', and my system
classpath is:
'.:/QIBM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/ibmwebas.jar:
/QIBM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/jst.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/jsdk.jar:/QI
BM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/x509v1.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/xml4j.jar:/Q
IBM/ProdData/IBMWebAS/lib/databeans.jar:
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/data400.jar:
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jt400.jar:
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/jui400.jar:
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/uitools.jar:/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/
jt400/lib/util400.jar:                       /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP
/Public/jt400/lib/x4j400.jar'

As it's rather hard to locate a class amongst a plethora of jar files,
perhaps someone would 'just know'.

The trace is reproduced below. If any one can help, that would be great.

Thanks

Chris Jewell
