Post subject: name is too long to represent error

I am using eclipse 3.1.0/myeclipse 4.0./tomcat 5.5.4/jdk1.5.0_05.

I am working on an application which creates PDF reports. I am getting following error while generating pdf.

This happens only if I run tomcat from myeclipse env. If I run tomcat ouside of eclipse it works fine.
I am not sure why its happening only from myeclipse. Do we need some patch?

Is there any extra library, class or JDK arguments you were using with Tomcat externally that you haven't reproduced in the Tomcat 5 connector settings in MyEclipse?

I didn't add any extra parameters. I just started tomcat using startup.sh. I am not sure how myeclipse starts it.

I'm curious about finding out more about this exception. MyEclipse starts all the application servers in the same method the init scripts do, there is no difference. But sometimes folks will heavily modify their startup scripts, in which case those settings need to be duplicated in the connector settings; but in this case it seems you didn't change anything.

What is the name of the PDF creator class you are using? The error that seems strange is this part:

Like some portion of the PDF generation library is attempting to load a class whose name is so long it is invalid, I imagine this probably isn't the case.

As a temporary workaround, you can always use remote debugging with an externally launched instance of any app server, so you still get the full MyEclipse support: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/remotedebugging/

Actually its throwing this exception when my action class is trying to get the dispatcher for a jsp. so that the request can be forwarded to that jsp.

Are of any of you class/page name inordinately long?

Actually this project was working fine in eclipse 3.0 and myeclipse 3.8 and jdk1.4.7. After I upgraded the eclipse to 3.1 and myeclipse to 4.0 and jdk 1.5.0_05, I started having this issue. Haven't found the solution yet.

Since this is an error that the JDK is reporting and since it was working with JDK 1.4.2_07, can you try running Eclipse with JDK 1.4.2_07 to see if that resolves the issue? You can specify the JDK that eclipse uses to start like this:
eclipse.exe -vm <path-to-jdk>\bin\javaw.exe

Also, you'll need to make sure that JDK 1.4.2_07 is the default JDK in the workspace at Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs.
