Hello,
In a JSP page, I have a method a bit like this:
void myMethod(Object someParam, JspWriter out)
throws IOException
{
...
}
The use of "out" is for some quick debugging. Anyway, this code works fine
under Tomcat 3.2.3, but porting it over to TC4 final produced the following
compilation errors :
"Class org.apache.jsp.IOException not found in throws"
It would seem that although I'm using standard API classes/interfaces
(JspWriter, IOException), the "import" statements in the generated ".java"
files based on the ".jsp" files are too vague... "java.io.IOException" is
getting mixed up with "org.apache.jsp.IOException".
This may be in turn related to some confusion between the public "JspWriter"
class and some underlying implementation class with the same unqualified
name.
As it happens, I don't need to use JspWriter, as it was only for debugging.
However, this sort of ambiguity could be much more annoying for some other
applications!
Hope this helps!
