Problems with JSP with Tomcat 3.1 M1 (again)

[Bruno Salgueiro <bs...@sibs.pt>]

Dear all,

  I had the same problem with Tomcat 3.0 and I upgraded to version 3.1M1
expecting it could be something that the first version had wrong but I
don't think so...

  Basically the problem has to do with CLASSPATH regarding JSPs and
beans
used by JSPs. I used the NumberGuess example without modifications and
deployed it in the new context created (/tomcat mapped on a directory
with rx access to user which tomcat is running). The JSP doesn't work
but the Snoop servlet works... I've been wasting too much time tring to
figure it out and I can't really understand what is going on. I really
need this working ASAP.

  Here is the browser output, extract from server.xml where the contexts
are defined and the web.xml. The browser connected directly to the
Tomcat
Web Server, not through Apache (but the results are the same either
way).
