I am using JavaService to start Tomcat as a service. It installs and starts just fine, but when I try to access a jsp, it hangs. In jasper.log it shows the usual lines about the jsp being accessed, but hangs after the line: Classpath according to the Servlet Engine is ... Noting shows up in the work directory and no error messages in any log. I tried putting tools.jar in the Tomcat lib, adding it to the service classpath, but it doesn't help. Any ideas why jasper is hanging and how to fix/identify the problem? Thanks, Frank Lawlor Athens Group, Inc.
