JSP Compilation Error
I know that this topic has been covered over and over... I went to the
archives but didn't find a solution to my problem.
I downloaded and installed (on Solaris 8 box) jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18.
Unzipped the file (I don't have GNU Tar installed on this machine to get the
tar version, and my company has FTP firewall access blocked).
I have Java v1.4.1_01. JAVA_HOME is set to the location of the
aforementioned Java version. CATALINA_HOME is set to the installation
location of jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18. I proceed to start tomcat and it comes
up. Then when I try to access it with http://myserver.company.com:8080 I
get the following error:
---
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
/export/home/u01/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/work/Standalone/localhost/_/index_jsp
.java:266: handlePageException(java.lang.Exception) in
javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext cannot be applied to (java.lang.Throwable)
if (pageContext != null) pageContext.handlePageException(t);
^
1 error
...and a long stack trace...
---
I've tried everything I've run into in the archives. Jasper uses Ant. How
can I ensure that the correct jar files are being called so that Jasper/Ant
can compile JSP files? Why isn't it working? Please help. I need to
evaluate a content management solution (Red Hat's CCM) that runs on top of
Tomcat.
Thank you.

I got that message, spent hours fiddling with classpath, JAVA_HOME, etc,
to no avail.
I then re-downloaded Tomcat , and re-installed, and it worked. I *may*
have noticed a "copy failed" message flash by in the first autoinstall
log. Worth a try. . .
Good luck,
Martin

Still no luck. I'm downloading the source and building Tomcat locally.

Re: JSP Compilation Error
Posted by Marcelino Cruz <mc...@paychex.com>.
I have the JDK.
In $CATALINA_HOME/bin (I understand this replaces $TOMCAT_HOME in the newer
versions of Tomcat?) there is a startup.sh that calls catalina.sh that in
turn calls setclasspath.sh. setclasspath.sh was asking for a "$BASEDIR"
variable that I set to be equal to $CATALINA_HOME. Now, my questions are:
1) Do I modify the setclasspath.sh to look for the tools.jar and dt.jar (as
some people have suggested; to me the tools.jar should be sufficient) in
$JAVA_HOME/lib ?
2) ...or do I copy tools.jar to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext ?
3) ...or do I copy tools.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/server/ and then either
classes or lib ?
4) ...or do I copy tools.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/shared/ and then either
classes or lib ?
Just which jar file(s) exactly does Tomcat (Catalina) need access to, where
do those files need to be located, and where (which script) do I make the
changes so that the JVM that Tomcat (Catalina) uses can find those
compilation classes.
Thank you!

Make sure you have the JDK and not the JRE, if you have the JRE you need
the tools.jar from the JDK, if you have the JDK and still get the
problem make sure tomcats classpath can see tools.jar.
