Jasper5 And Fedora Core 6, build-classpath problems

[st...@bt.com]

I am trying to use Jasper on Fedora Core 6 to precompile some of my jsp
but I come across the following classpath builder errors when trying run
the jasper script:-

$ /usr/bin/jasper5.sh
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jasper-compiler Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jasper-runtime Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jsp-2.0-api Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find servlet-2.4-api Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Some specified jars were not found
Usage: /usr/bin/jasper5.sh ( jspc )
Commands:
  jspc - Run the offline JSP compiler

I looked in the script to see what jar files the classpath builder
needed and compared that to similar looking jar files in /usr/share/java

By creating links to the following files I get rid of the errors

$ su -
# cd /usr/share/java
# ln -s jasper5-compiler.jar jasper-compiler.jar
# ln -s jasper5-runtime.jar jasper-runtime.jar
# ln -s tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api.jar jsp-2.0-api.jar
# ln -s tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api.jar servlet-2.4-api.jar
# exit
$ /usr/bin/jasper5.sh
Usage: /usr/bin/jasper5.sh ( jspc )
Commands:
  jspc - Run the offline JSP compiler

So what I am wondering is have I missed off installing a compatibility
package or is there a mistake in the jasper package that should either
create these links or change the names required in the script?

For reference the packages concerned are
tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.17-6jpp.2
tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.17-6jpp.2
tomcat5-jasper-5.5.17-6jpp.2

When starting a new thread (ie sending a message to the list about a
new topic) please do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject line. To many of the list archiving services and mail clients
used by list subscribers this  makes your new message appear as part
of the old thread. This makes it harder for other users to find
relevant information when searching the lists.

This is known as thread hijacking and is behaviour that is frowned
upon on this list. Frequent offenders will be removed from the list.
It should also be noted that many list subscribers automatically
ignore any messages that hijack another thread.

The correct procedure is to create a new message with a new subject.
This will start a new thread.
