Hello,
We are trying to automate the pre-compilation of our JSP files with JspC and
the inclusion of the generated "webinc.xml" file in our application
"web.xml" file. We have constructed an application web.xml as shown below.
Both "web.xml" and "webinc.xml" are local to the
.../webapps/<application>/WEB-INF/ directory.
Our problem is that Tomcat complains when starting up with the message:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "webinc.xml"; can not
be resolved without a base URI.
Note the local reference to "webinc.xml" below in the DOCTYPE tag.
If we change the reference to "webinc.xml" to an absolute URI of the form
below (on Windows):
file://E/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4b3/webapps/appname/WEB-INF/webinc.xml
... we get a null pointer exception when Tomcat starts up (parser error at
the line where we reference the file to be included):
2002-06-04 08:55:27 ContextConfig[/voicemail] Parse error in application
web.xml
java.lang.NullPointerException

at
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter.parse(XMLReaderAdapter.java:223)
at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:314)
...
What are we doing wrong? We're using Tomcat 4.0.4b3.
Thanks,
