The howto on the website is slightly wrong here is the exact howto
first of all remove all jikes related jars from the tomcat lib dir, second add tools.jar from the jdk to the tomcat classpath third add ant.jar from an ant installation to the classpath fourth replace the servlet entry from the conf/web.xml with following: <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compiler</param-name> <param-value>javac1.5</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> <param-value>1.5</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> <param-value>1.5</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> and now startup tomcat with a working jdk 1.5 and pages should compile also see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=111660999324714&w=2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
