Unable to compile class for JSP

Hi, After reading the archives I see this is not an uncommon error. I've tried a couple suggestions (of removing java.exe from the winnt/system32 directory as well as changing the JDK version from 1.4.1_03 to 1.4.1_05), but no luck. Any help in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated. Dave

What is the request you send to Tomcat, i.e. what is this JSP supposed to
accomplish?

Re: Unable to compile class for JSP

Posted by Dave Stoker <ds...@pacbell.net>.
John, Schalk, all,

I had copied a servlet jar file from JRun to the Tomcat/shared/lib
directory. Once this was removed the JSPs compile! Moral: JRun and Tomcat
are very different.

Thanks for the replies.

Dave

Are you running Tomcat as a service?  If so, edit the registry and change
the path of the jvm.dll to the one in the server directory of your jsdk
installation.
