org.apache.catalina cannot be resolved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While building against smartgwt 3.1 I came across this error:

Errors in 
'jar:file:SmartGWT/3.1/smartgwt.jar!/com/smartgwt/client/util/DateUtil.java'
   [ERROR] Line 5: The import org.apache.catalina cannot be resolved

Looking at com.smartgwt.client.util.DateUtil I noticed that there is an import 
to org.apache.catalina.startup.SetDocBaseRule which isn't even used.

Thanks.

This was fixed long ago in nightly builds, but has now been fixed in SVN as 
well (presumably you did your own build).

Actually, this is in the smartgwt-3.1.zip download from 
https://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/downloads/detail?name=smartgwt-3.1.zip

This has already been confirmed fixed by multiple users, so most likely, 
although you have downloaded a new build, you are still running older code due 
to caching, forgetting to run a GWT compile, having multiple .jars in your path 
or a similar problem.

Does this fix get commited to the Maven repository as well?

I have the same error, jar downloaded from this page, new project started. So 
problem for sure is not solved

I used Maven and the SmartClient Maven repository to download the artifact 
named smartgwt-3.1.jar (you can get it yourself at 
http://smartclient.com/maven2/com/smartgwt/smartgwt/3.1/smartgwt-3.1.jar).  You 
will see when you open this jar file that the DateUtil.java contained therein 
features the import in question.

Here is a stupid workaround that worked for me (I'm using the gwt-maven-plugin 
for compilation):

1. Create a no-op java file named 
org.apache.catalina.startup.SetDocBaseRule.java.  Locate it in the project 
where GWT compilation takes place.

2. In that project put a GWT module somewhere that references the containing 
package.  In my case, I made a Startup.gwt.xml module in 
mywarproject/src/main/resources/org/apache/catalina whose contents were, in 
total:

<module>
  <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.User" />
  <source path="startup" />
</module>

3. In your GWT module that contains the entry point, make it inherit this dummy 
module first:

<inherits name="org.apache.catalina.Startup" />

This works around the issue.

We don't change releases that have already gone out (that's what is meant by 
"release") so you will not get the fix if you are specifically downloading the 
original 3.1 release and ignoring the patched builds.

If you don't know how to get patched builds through Maven, instructions are 
here:

Ah! I see; I saw that your Maven repository contains some patched builds 
(http://smartclient.com/maven2/com/smartgwt/smartgwt/2.5-patch/), so I simply 
figured that 3.1 didn't have any further patches.  I'll use the 
smartgwt-maven-plugin available from the Sonatype staging repository mentioned 
in the forum thread to bootstrap things I guess.  Thanks.  Is there a reason 
you don't propagate patched builds (or all of them, anyway) to your Maven 
repository? That would be very helpful.

We don't propagate them because it would be redundant with the new (Sonatype) 
mechanism and because we don't want to keep older builds.  The system at 
smartclient.com/builds already cleans up stale builds.
