How do I resolve the "no jacob-1.xx-x86" Unsatisfiable Link Error in Apache Tomcat?

Tomcat keeps throwing an Unsatisfiable Link Error for Jacob, despite the fact that I have copied the Jacob jar into the libs directory for Tomcat. What am I missing?

Solution

  • The solution for this comes from this troubleshooting article and this related question:

    1. Navigate to the SourceForge project's files. Find the version of Jacob you're using. Download the zip file.
    2. Once downloaded, extract the *-x86.dll and *-x64.dll files into the bin directory for Tomcat.
    3. Restart Tomcat
    4. Navigate to the webapp/page that is throwing the error. It should now be resolved.
