The issue I am describing below is not one of the jar's being in an
incorrect location. They are located in the WEB-INF/lib directory as
recommended and the application runs fine once the JSPs are compiled.
The problem is the javac command which runs in a separate JVM to Tomcat
(fork=true) is not running as it should. It is failing as the classpath
for this command is too long.
It appears that I've answered my own question though. Just set fork to
false and this problem is overcome. I probably could have thought of
that about 8 hours ago...
Thanks anyway.

Place your JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web app - or if they
are shared in the /common/lib (5.x) location of Tomat.
These locations are scanned and used automagically by Tomcat when doing
classloading.
You may want to check out the tomcat architecture descriptions for the
version of Tomcat you are using , for 5.0.x:

Subject: Too many jars
Hi All,
I'm sure this must be a reasonably common scenario but havn't been unable to
find a suitable solution as yet:
For my application I utilise many jar files from the rich and varied open
source apps that are out there. After deploying the webapp I am now getting
a Jasper compilation error when viewing the JSPs for the first time:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
This is apparently due to the fact that classpath parameter is too long for
the Windows allowed command line length when the javac command is called.
This can be fixed by shortening the names of the jars or moving
CATALINA_HOME to be in a less verbose directory location (eg not ..\Program
Files\Apache Group\Tomcat.. etc).
Does anyone have a better solution for this?
Thanks,
Toby
