Caucho Resin version 3.0.8
Summary
Reflection for the Web can run as a web application with the Caucho Resin application server. This technical note describes how to install Reflection for the Web when Caucho Resin version 3.0.8 is already installed.
Installing the Reflection Server
- Locate the rweb.war file on the Reflection for the Web installation CD (in the \install\nonautomated folder).
- Place the rweb.war file in the webapps folder of the Caucho Resin installation folder, which is named resin-3.0.8 by default.
- In the Caucho Resin installation folder, create a folder named ReflectionData.
- Restart the Caucho Resin server.
After restarting Caucho Resin, you will see an error regarding the ReflectionData folder (when the system tries to load Reflection for the Web).
- To resolve the error and continue with the installation, modify the web.xml file as follows.
- Open the web.xml file, located at \<resin installation folder>\webapps\rweb\WEB-INF.
- Locate the following section within the web.xml file:
<context-param><param-name>ReflectionData</param-name> <param-value>rwebdata_location_placeholder</param-value> </context-param>- Replace the value of rwebdata_location_placeholder with the location of the ReflectionData folder you created in step 3.
For example, if the ReflectionData folder is located in the root installation (resin-3.0.8) folder, then this section would be modified as follows:
<context-param><param-name>ReflectionData</param-name> <param-value>\ReflectionData</param-value> </context-param>- Save the web.xml file, and restart the Caucho Resin server.

Known Issue
There is a known issue when running the Reflection for the Web metering servlet with version 3.0.x of Caucho Resin caused by a class loading conflict. (Resin uses the same class library, but different version, as Reflection.)
To work around this problem, modify the web.xml file:
- Locate the web.xml file at <Reflection installation folder>/webapps/rwebmeter/WEB-INF.
- Add the following lines, denoted in red, within the web-app tag—but not within any other sub tag.
<web-app>

<class-loader><servlet-hack/></class-loader>
</web-app>
