Help with JSP and Tomcat

[Peter Boivin]

I am fairly new with JSP.  I have Tomcat 3.2.3 running.  When I go to view the examples, I receive this error below.  I gather that it is not seeing the main method.  I have both JDK 1.3.1 and j2sdkee1.2.1 installed.  Did Tomcat not find the JVM that it needs?  When I run the servlet examples I have no trouble with them.  Please help.   Kindly, Peter Error: 500 Location: /examples/jsp/num/numguess.jsp Internal Servlet Error: javax.servlet.ServletException: sun/tools/javac/Main         at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:508)         at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:405)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:287)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:812)         at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:758)         at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:213)         at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416)         at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:501)         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Root cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main        at org.apache.jasper.compiler.SunJavaCompiler.compile(SunJavaCompiler.java:136)        at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:273)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.doLoadJSP(JspServlet.java:612)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader12.loadJSP(JasperLoader12.java:146)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.loadJSP(JspServlet.java:542)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.loadIfNecessary(JspServlet.java:258)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java:268)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:429)        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:500)        at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)        at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:405)        at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:287)        at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372)        at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:812)        at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:758)        at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:213)        at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416)        at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:501)        at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
