TOmcat5.5.17 - jasper-runtime.jar ERROR

[Sarath G -X \(sarag - Infosys at Cisco\)]

Hi,

 

We have recently migrated from Tomcat 5.0.28 to Tomcat 5.5.17

 

In our component build we pre-compile all jsp files. 

However after changing to Tomcat5.5 the Jsp Pre-Compilation fails and
throws the following ERROR:

 

[javac]
/view/sarag-latest-cct-ccm/vob/ccm/Projects/car/jsp_files/MAMgrSearch_js
p.java:16: org.apache.jsp.MAMgrSearch_jsp is not abstract and does not
override abstract method getDependants() in
org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent

    [javac] public final class MAMgrSearch_jsp extends
com.cisco.ccm.car.userinterface.JSPReportBase

    [javac]              ^

    [javac]
/view/sarag-latest-cct-ccm/vob/ccm/Projects/car/jsp_files/MAMgrSearch_js
p.java:29: getDependants() in org.apache.jsp.MAMgrSearch_jsp cannot
implement getDependants() in
org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent; attempting to use
incompatible return type

    [javac] found   : java.lang.Object

    [javac] required: java.util.List

    [javac]   public Object getDependants() {

    [javac]                 ^

    [javac] Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.

    [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

    [javac] 100 errors

 

It looks like the XXX_jsp.java files generated using JspC from
jasper-compile.jar is generating getDependants() method with signature:

List getDependants();

 

However the new jasper-runtime.jar expects a signature of the type:

Object getDependants();

 

Jasper-compiler.jar & jasper-runtime.jar are included in the class path
while compiling.

 

Is this a know issue? If yes, is there a work around for the same. 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks & Regards
