addressbook example problem.

[John Morrow <jm...@trustnetworking.com>]

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed xindice from cvs. It is running on
FreeBSD 4.8, using Diablo 1.3.1 JDK and Apache Tomcat 4.1.27.

It seems to be working fine, I can add, delete collections, etc. However
I am having a problem getting the Addressbook example to work.

I used the following commands to install it:

cd $XINDICE_HOME/java/examples
$XINDICE_HOME/tools/bin/ant
cp $XINDICE_HOME/dist/Addressbook.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
cp $XINDICE_HOME/java/lib/xalan*.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
cp $XINDICE_HOME/java/lib/xmldb*.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
cp $XINDICE_HOME/dist/xindice*.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

The jar versions are fine. The readme is a little outdated so the above
commands are guesswork in parts.

Anyway, when I go to localhost:8080/Addressbook I get the following 500
error:

exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here?

Many thanks,
John.
