Two hosts setup, jsp won't work!

Hi,

I run Tomcat5.0.24 on Fedora Core 1.  I have two hosts defined in server.xml in a following way:

<Host name ="WebTest1.something.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps"  unpackWARs="true" 						autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" lNamespaceAware="false">
        			<Context path="" docBase="WebTest1" debug="5"/>
                                                                                                                             
        			<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 		prefix="localhost_WebTest1_log." suffix=".txt"
                 		timestamp="true"/>                                                                                                                             
        		</Host>
                                                                                                                             
        		<Host name ="WebTest2.something.com" debug="0" 	appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" 							autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
                                 
			<Context path="/WebTest2" docBase="WebTest2" debug="0" reloadable=true/>

        			<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 		prefix="localhost_WebTest2_log." suffix=".txt"
                 		timestamp="true"/>
                                                                                                                             
        		</Host>

I have proper DNS entries on my DNS server for both hosts.
First host is a simple http website and a second host is a jsp website.
I'm able to access both sites but when I run the jsp application ( WebTest2) I'm able to go through some jsp pages and then I get an 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

/var/tomcat5/work/Catalina/WebTest2.something.com/WebTest2/org/apache/jsp/someJsp_jsp.java:15: package com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report does not exist
import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.*;
^
1 error

I have about 5 jar files containing com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.* in
/var/tomcat5/webapps/WebTest2/WEB-INF/lib 

I copied the above jars to /var/tomcat5/webapps/WebTest2/WEB-INF/classes just in case and got the same error.
Does this have anything to do with the hosts I've defined?  Did I create a wrong directory structure?
My jsps are in  /var/tomcat5/webapps/WebTest2
Everything below /var/tomcat5/webapps is owned by tomcat5 user.  My Tomcat is running as root since I need it to be listening on port 80.  Cat it be a permissions problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
N.K.

First things first -- if you're going to use multiple virtual hosts, you'd
do well to either 1/ use separate appBase dirs, or 2/ disable autoDeploy
and deployOnStartup for your <Host> elements.

Otherwise, each vhost will deploy both webapps when it starts.

Are all of the classes unique between the jars? (That is, are there any
classes defined in multiple jars?)  If not, things could get messy down the
line.

To start debugging, you could disable the vhost for WebTest1 (just comment
it out) and focus on WebTest2.

Then, pare down the list of jarfiles in WebTest2/WEB-INF/lib.  Confirm that
each jar is indeed a valid file (a quick "jar -tf {file}" should do) and
that the required class, and every class on which it depends, is available
either in a JAR in WebTest2/WEB-INF/lib or a bare class in
WebTest2/WEB-INF/classes.



: I copied the above jars to /var/tomcat5/webapps/WebTest2/WEB-INF/classes just

No need to do this -- WEB-INF/classes will only load bare class files;
jarfiles must exist in WEB-INF/lib.

The dirs look OK.  If other JSPs compile without a problem, you can pretty
much narrow it down to a missing/rogue jarfile or class.

Probably not a permissions problem, but you probably don't want root
running the Tomcat process.  

Once you've solved  your immediate JSP problem, you may want to look into
commons-daemon/jsvc.  (This was discussed recently on the list; see the
archives for details.)
