Strange code in Smart Gwt 3.1, cause compilation error:

GWT error code:
Removing invalidated units
[ERROR] Errors in 'com/smartgwt/client/util/DateUtil.java'
[ERROR] Line 5: The import org.apache.catalina.startup.SetDocBaseRule cannot be resolved

Hello

You are missing the Catalina jar. I guess you are using tomcat. Put the jar on your path

[sae]

There is no org.apache.catalina.startup.SetDocBaseRule
in
catalina.jar

anyway, there in a problem of smartgwt.jar
this class
com/smartgwt/client/util/DateUtil.java
use unused import:
import org.apache.catalina.startup.SetDocBaseRule

I think it have to be removed from smartgwt.jar

Use patched builds (see SmartClient.com/builds). This import was removed months ago.

hmm, similar problem

Hello,

Last week I downloaded the current build of Smart GWT 3.1 pro to get a sorted treegrid. Now I get this new error when I try to build my war with ant. This "is" found in catalina.jar, but if I put it into my lib it compiles but does not run as links I guess with tomcat at runtime?

What is this about?

versions

** Smart GWT Forum
I was using the following
SmartClient Version: SNAPSHOT_v8.3d_2012-09-20/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2012-09-20)

Which did not have this error message.

And now I downloaded. smartgwtpower-3.1pzip April 19, 2013 and have this new error.

If one puts in catalina.jar the error goes away and I can build a war. But then at runtime in tomcat when I goto the URL I get a new error in the browser

classpath

I am fixing my classpath to point to the external jar catalina.jar

Where are the release notes that say what changes happen from Smart GWT release to release. I should go over these to see what changes might have caused this.

Certainly I should not rely on stuff like this, but if I look at the release notes I bet I would have picked it up.

I am testing now, but imagine that will do it. I should really go back and remove this dependency on tomcat, but have not had time :-)

They're in the changelog file, but there's been no change in this area for a long time. If you're finding that the catalina.jar is required, you somehow have very old .jars in use, possibly through another classpath issue.
