I encountered four errors while building dbforms from source:
1.) Lack of a servletapi jar file in the classpath.
Had to get Tomcat's CVS repository to get one.
2.) Compilation error in src/org/dbforms/taglib/DbFormTag.java
3.) Compilation error in
src/org/dbforms/taglib/DbGetConnection.java
4.) Invalid path to jvm in build.xml file. Referred to
'java.exe'
and I was on a Linux system at the time.
I've included cvs diffs that should fix the compilation errors that I
got (unreachable statement errors). I also included a diff of the
modified build.xml file that took care of my invalid path error (this
should work for Windows machines as well, but I haven't tested that,
yet).
I didn't include a jar file for the servletapi, because I'm not sure
about how that would/wouldn't violate licensing agreements.
