Jikes 1.18 JSP compiler support broken in TC 4.1.27

2003-08-14 Thread Chris Brown
Hi, I tried switching to Jikes with Tomcat release 4.1.27 (LE-JDK1.4), and it would appear that the version of "ant.jar" you use internally in Tomcat to compile JSP pages is out of date with regards to the latest versions of Jikes (which have been around for a while now). The Javac Ant task is s

Hi, I've just upgraded from Tomcat 4.1.24 to 4.1.27, and am using the default out-of-the-box configuration (see below). Tomcat now refuses to compile JSPs with the default settings. I need to modify conf/web.xml such that the "fork" init-param for the JSP servlet is set to "true" (not "false",

2003-03-21 Thread Chris Brown
Hi Remy, It might be worth COPYING the original web.xml at deployment time, to make a runtime-web.xml, to do what you propose, leaving the original web.xml untouched. This way, you can add the declarations for compiled JSPs, and -- as a bonus -- allow clean modification of things like init-param

Re: Why unpackWars=true default?

2003-01-22 Thread Chris Brown
To clarify, when I said I "consider" WARs as if they were EXEs, I mean that in many cases I think it's good practice to have a WAR file that doesn't try to modify itself internally (bit like having an EXE or whatever that modifies its contents or self-modifying assembler code...). Some webapps be

This is really a user question... In answer to your question, I have tried it on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, with Sun's JDK 1.4.0 (final, not the "_01" patch or 1.4.1 beta). It crashes quite often, i.e.: the JVM just dies, not a Tomcat exception. It happened frequently with Tomcat 4.0.x, but

I can't commit to developing this (I'd love to, I have some ideas, but I don't have the time...), but hopefully it might interest someone and they can develop it... When deploying webapps as WAR files, especially generic webapps, it's not always very practical to request that an administrator ma

Should connectors to IIS and Apache behave differently according to whether a webapp is deployed as a WAR file or as an uncompressed set of files on the disk? When the webapp is deployed "uncompressed", it should be easy enough to find the static files to server, but when it's an unpacked WAR fi

Hello, I'm aware (or at least, I assume!) that some of the people on this list are involved in developing the specs for the Servlet API. It would be useful to be able to obtain information about the servlet context's name (or specifically, it's URL prefix) during initialisation (either in a serv
