I got a bit confused, but the problem is that the version of jikes I downloaded doesn't support -encoding.
On javaroom.de I found a version of jikes1.18 with -encoding support. http://www.javaroom.de/index.html I installed it and it worked right away. grts, Patrick -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Willart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 1:41 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Using Jikes as compiler for Tomcat 4.1 on Windows systems Simple question. Is it possible or not? I use Jikes 1.18 and Tomcat 4.1.24. Based from other posts I figured out that it's not possible to configure Tomcat to use Jikes as JSP compiler because -encoding is not supported in the Windows version of Jikes. However out of different posts I get the idea that some people are able to get it to work. This is my error message: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Compiling 1 source file [javac] use: jikes [options] [EMAIL PROTECTED] file.java... [javac] For more help, try -help or -version [javac] Error: The option "-encoding" is unsupported in this build. Note: 'jikes -help' doesn't show any help information on -encoding, but when I give the command 'jikes -encoding' an error message is returned that "-encoding" requires an argument. This is how I have it configured in my conf/web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>logVerbosityLevel</param-name> <param-value>WARNING</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compiler</param-name> <param-value>jikes</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> Did I forget anything?
