Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply.
Well, the reason is I am working on a project to make a kaffe-1.0.6-based JVM called Jessica2 to be able to support Tomcat and Axis. But the source base for 1.0.6 and the current version differ too much. I hit the error of unable to compile class for JSP due to Cannot find method "getProtectionDomain()" when running happyaxis.jsp. I see this method in Classloader.java in later Kaffe version (e.g. 1.1.4) java library. Do you think this can be fixed by porting a later version of Classloader.java as well as the java.security.* things? I am not sure if the kjc compiler will refer to the kaffe's java library for compilation of JSP. Or it's due to missing method in kjc internal. Do you think changing to another compiler can solve this? Also, later version has used rt.jar instead of Klasses.jar. This makes the porting difficult. I wish to ask during kaffe install, will Klasses.jar be re-created using source or just moved out the pre-compiled jar file. If the later, then I can create a new pre-compiled one and no need to change the make.in etc setting. Much Thanks for Help.
