Hello, I just installed tomcat 5.0.28 successfully.
Then tested the samples in C:\TOMCAT\webapps\jsp-examples\jsp2 - they worked. Thed tried to test a .jsp of my own- getting the error msg in the MS Internet-Explorer: =================== BEGIN of error Msg ============================ HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it >from fulfilling this request. exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:97) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:346) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:414) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:472) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:451) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:439) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:511) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:295) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:292) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:236) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) root cause Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
