http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33060 Summary: JasperException in conjunction with fork set to false Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.30 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Jasper AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For short what I'm aiming at: I develop a web application and try to make this public. One of the potential users are windows users who might want to use this application. (see the application: http://www.itth.de/Produkte/TTraq_en.html) The problem I faced was the everlasting old problem with configuring the "fork" property in "web.xml". If this is set to "false" then Tomcat can't compile JSP pages: <pre> org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP Generated servlet error: 05-01-12 12:02:11 ERROR org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler:412 - Javac exception Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK </pre> I used a vanilla fresh Java SDK (1.4.2.xxx) and Tomcat 5.0.30 (Windows installer version) and this error occurs by default because the "fork" is set to "false" by default in the Windows installation distribution of Tomcat. I'm sure this is one of the most annoying bugs/misfeatures which can occure (in some circumstances even on Unix systems) and longs for a very long time now. Even the error message can drive an administrator insane. What is the reason for setting the "fork" to "false" by default? And what is the detailed problem if set to "true"? I'm not so deep in Tomcat sorry, I'm just an administrator who wants to use Tomcat and show how fine it is. But with this problem a Windows administrator might become never a better human. ;-) There is an other bug which handled this, but there it is spoken that the "fork" parameter has to set to "false" for working. But I'm sure this is wrong: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19269 Sorry if I might reactivate a very old issue, but I just want to help make Tomcat and Java popular.
