This is what happens in JSPService.java around line 249:

        try {
            boolean precompile = preCompile(request);
            serviceJspFile(request, response, jspUri, null, precompile);
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            throw e;
        } catch (ServletException e) {
            throw e;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw e;
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            throw new ServletException(e);  << line 249
        }

You should get the Tomcat sources and set a breakpoint at line 249. When you know the real throwable that is catched there, you will probably get it clue what is happening.

Hi,

my Tomcat 5.5.9 has the commons-logging-api.jar in the bin directory. Did you look there, too?

I am still stuck with this one (shouldn't have posted it on a Saturday

I don't think it is my web.xml giving the problem - I am looking into
possible problems with missing or conflicting jar files

Reading through the release notes again for Tomcat 5.5.9, there is a
listing of the libraries included:

=============
Bundled APIs:
=============
A standard installation of Tomcat 5.5 makes all of the following APIs available for use by web applications (by placing them in "common/lib" or "shared/lib"):
* commons-el.jar (Commons Expression Language 1.0)
* commons-logging-api.jar (Commons Logging API 1.0.x)
* jasper-compiler.jar (Jasper 2 Compiler)
* jasper-compiler-jdt.jar (Eclipse JDT Java compiler)
* jasper-runtime.jar (Jasper 2 Runtime)
* jsp-api.jar (JSP 2.0 API)
* naming-common.jar (JNDI Context implementation)
* naming-factory.jar (JNDI object factories for J2EE ENC support)
* naming-factory-dbcp.jar (DataSource implementation based on commons-dbcp)
* naming-resources.jar (JNDI DirContext implementations)
* servlet-api.jar (Servlet 2.4 API)


I seem to be missing:

commons-logging-api.jar (Commons Logging API 1.0.x)
naming-common.jar (JNDI Context implementation)

from my Tomcat installation (Windows 2000, I used the windows

installer jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9.exe)

Why should this be the case? Where can I download these files from?
Thanks,

John
