Re: error running JSP Config on tomcat examples - tomcat 5.0.19
Thanks for your input. I've already checked what version of java I've got:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
java version 1.4.2_03
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)
My first impulse was that I was missing the java compiler but it's there:
ls $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac
/usr/java/bin/javac
I have a startup script in /etc/init.d. In that script I set up a number of
ENV vars, including JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, PATH. I have both the catalina.sh
the setclasspath.sh echo what those variables hold (after I found that
setclasspath reset the CLASSPATH to something limited I commented out that
line).
When I google for this problem, the hints are that either the java version
and the tomcat version are not compatible OR the CLASSPATH is lacking some
jar file
My CLASSPATH has this:
/usr/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/jre/lib:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/commons-daemon.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/bin/commons-logging-api.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/common/lib/servlet-api.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/common/lib/jsp-api.jar
Am I missing some important Sun Java classpath? I have the general jre/lib
directory but should I point to a special jar file? Do I need more than the
tools.jar file in the /usr/java/lib in my CLASSPATH??
I have a symlink set up so that /usr/java points to /usr/java -
/usr/j2se and /usr/jre -- j2re1.4.2_04.
Should I NOT use symlinks??
Any other suggestions?
thanks all!

${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -version
Back in the day, and perhaps still, Solaris shipped with Java version

Re: error running JSP Config on tomcat examples - tomcat 5.0.19
Erin,
Thank you! Your post looks a lot like mine, which
gave me an idea. The Unable to compile class for
JSP has only shown up for me in version 5.0.19.
I switched to tomcat 5.0.16 and the problem is gone.
Trying switching to a different version of tomcat and
see if the problem disappears for you too. Maybe
there's something in 5.0.19 that's messed up.

Re: error running JSP Config on tomcat examples - tomcat 5.0.19
I found out what my configuration error was! I'm sending it to this list so if another newbie has problems they might google out this answer! :) (I really hate it when someone just replies to the list -- oh never mind I got it! and then doesn't give the answer!) I found this link: http://johnturner.com/howto/apache2-tomcat4127-jk-rh9-howto.html AND even though it was for Tomcat 4 and linux I figured it might have *the* answer for me. It did. I needed to run tomcat as the tomcat user (this involved changing the ownership of the tomcat directory files as I'd already set it up as root). While the ENV variables were being set in the /etc/init.d/tomcat script and EXPORTED -- they weren't making it to catalina.sh. I explicitly set JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, PATH in setclasspath.sh. CLASSPATH is set thusly in setclasspath.sh: CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar It seems to add to the already setup CLASSPATH in the startup script. PATH needed to include $JAVA_HOME/bin, $CATALINA_HOME/bin and $JRE_HOME/bin. Suddenly the java compiler was found! Now I'm on to my next error in the jsp examples (repeat tag): StandardWrapperValve[org.apache.jsp.jsp2.simpletag.repeat_jsp]: Servlet.serv ice() for servlet org.apache.jsp.jsp2.simpletag.repeat_jsp threw exception java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: _jspx_page_context Do I need to add a jar file to my CLASSPATH? thanks all! erin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: error running JSP Config on tomcat examples - tomcat 5.0.19
I probably didn't supply enough info as I haven't received any responses. I have googled this error and tried everything that I could find. Details: Tomcat 5.0.19 OS: Solaris 2.8 (with the latest J2SEE OS patches) Apache: 2.0.48 Java: (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode) My error message says this (in a small part): org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP This is when I try to run the jsp2 example JSP Configuration. I can find the class file here: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/jsp/jsp2/misc/config_jsp.class This same error is occurring when I try to run our app which worked under Tomcat 4. And even though someone here said NOT to copy over the $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar into the common/lib for tomcat -- I did as per the error message. Then stopped and started tomcat. I continue to get the same error. It's been my experience with other UNIX apps that when an app is called for and can not be found I have a PATH problem. So I added to the tomcat start-up script the following ENV VARS: CLASSPATH=\ $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:\ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/commons-daemon.jar:\ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar export CLASSPATH PATH=\ /usr/java/bin:/usr/local/bin:\ /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/tomcat/bin:\ /usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/ccs/bin: export PATH Then I added to the catalina.sh the following: echo Using CLASSPATH: $CLASSPATH echo Using PATH: $PATH And to the setclasspath.sh #CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar -- commented this out to keep the classpath I set in the startup script. echo Using CLASSPATH in setclasspath.sh: $CLASSPATH Started and stopped tomcat I see this: Using CLASSPATH in setclasspath.sh: /usr/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/commons-daemon.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java Using CLASSPATH: /usr/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/commons-daemon.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/bin/commons-logging-api.jar Using PATH: /usr/java/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/tomcat/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/ccs/bin: It looks like the $JAVA_HOME/bin directory is being accessed. So, do I have the wrong java installed? I've been here: http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/ and tried the suggestions. When I goggle the only reoccurring answer is that the jdk version tomcat version are not compatible. True? I thought Tomcat 5 needed this version of jdk?
