Odd Compiler Error in JSPs

I found a really odd compiler problem today in my JSPs. When I tried to do a rebuild on my JSPs, all of them came up with the exact same error. Basicall it said that I could not have a -- within a comment. This error was reported on three lines and the editor showed three sections as having problems (using a squiggly yellow line). However, none of the pages had anything like what was mentioned on those lines.
It turned out that the real problem was that the web.xml file had the error. I had put some '--' in a comment section and when the compiler parsed the web.xml file and found the problem, it failed to tag that file as the source but rather ended up showing the JP as being the source.
Took a bit if time to figure that one out.

Compilation error in jsp script with weblogic 9.1 server

Hi All,
 i am using weblogic 9.1 compiler to compile my jsp code.
 it gives me compilation error.
 The root cause of the error is %% which comes in the code.
 for e.g take this code:-
 <%
 System.out.println("%%abc");
 %>
 this code will give error while error.
 here it is identifing %% as termination tag!
 same code works in tomcat & weblogic 8.1
 can anyone give any information in this regard.

Compiler error: Missing JSP library?

Hi All,
I am really new at this, and I know that I'm making some sort of simple mistake.
I have an existing application running on a 9i middle tier. I want to make a couple of simple changes to a .JSP. So I downloaded the EAR file, loaded it into JDeveloper (10.1.3.0.4 SU4), made my changes and tried to run it locally. I got 241 compiler errors. So I reverted to the original EAR, and I still get 241 compiler errors.
The errors are:
Error(1,5): illegal forward reference
Error(1,14): duplicate definition of class _index
Error(1,48): HttpJsp not found in class _index
Error(1,62): method getPageContext(_index, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, null, boolean, int, boolean) not found in class javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory
The code is:
<sample>
import oracle.jsp.runtime.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
public class _index extends oracle.jsp.runtime.HttpJsp {
public final String _globalsClassName = null;
public void _jspService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws java.io.IOException, ServletException {
response.setContentType( "text/html;charset=windows-1252");
/* set up the intrinsic variables using the pageContext goober:
** session = HttpSession
** application = ServletContext
** out = JspWriter
** page = this
** config = ServletConfig
** all session/app beans declared in globals.jsa
PageContext pageContext = JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getPageContext( this, request, response, null, true, JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER, true);
// Note: this is not emitted if the session directive == false
HttpSession session = pageContext.getSession();
if (pageContext.getAttribute(OracleJspRuntime.JSP_REQUEST_REDIRECTED, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE) != null) {
pageContext.setAttribute(OracleJspRuntime.JSP_PAGE_DONTNOTIFY, "true", PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE);
JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().releasePageContext(pageContext);
return;
</sample>
So, I read the forums, etc and decided that I need ojsp.jar included in my project libraries. So I went to libraries under project properties, and I already have "Jsp Runtime" as my first library and it claims to include ojsp.jar. I've tried removing and re-adding the library, adding other libraries ("J2EE","Servlet Runtime","OC4J Deployment Plugin"...), and a dozen other things, none of which have allowed my to compile.
Any ideas on what I should do?
Steven

you might need to post more code, but basically the
compiler is complaining because you do not have a
return statement at the end of your method.
if you do not have a return statement (with a matching
return type) then the compiler will complain. If you
don't understand this then post the code to your
method and we can get it fixed.
public String[] read(InputStream list) throws
Exception {
String[] stringArray;
return stringArray;
The code is the most complex I have written so far but here is some of it. (the begining and the end)
public String[] read(InputStream list) throws Exception {
if (list != null) {
String[] stringArray = null;
try {
while {
//add strings to string array
}//end of while
return stringArray;
}// end try
catch{
}//end of method

How do I see javac compiler errors during JSP precompile?

 I played with all the options that "weblogic.jspc"
 supports. I couldn't get the javac compiler errors to
 show up when there is a problem with the generated
 Java file.
 Interestingly the same JSP when compiled automatically
 by the weblogic server, the javac errors show up in
 the output.
 Any tricks? or ideas?
 thanks


 In WL 5.1, earlier service packs would sometimes not show the errors. Get sp6 or later.

Odd compile errors using a struct in a vector

I am following Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo to learn C++, using Eclipse as my IDE and the MinGW tool chain. Chapter 4 teaches about the struct concept using a pretty simple multi-file example program which emulates reading in a series of student grades and outputs the averages. The struct it defines is called Student_info. Here is Student_info.h:
#ifndef STUDENT_INFO_H_GUARD
#define STUDENT_INFO_H_GUARD
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
struct Student_info {
std::string name;
double midterm, final;
std::vector<double> homework;
bool compare(const Student_info&, const Student_info&);
std::istream& read(std::istream&, Student_info);
std::istream& read_hw(std::istream&, std::vector<double>&);
#endif /* STUDENT_INFO_H_GUARD */
There are no errors associated with compare, read or read_hw.
The problem I am having is that even though the simple variable declaration below seems to work,
#include "Student_info.h"
int main() {
vector<Student_info> students;
Student_info record;
string::size_type maxlen = 0;
in the sense that the Eclipse code editor signals via i) its color coding that it has found the data type; ii) when I mouseover, it shows me the underlying Student_info definition in the hover box; and iii) the code associated with the variable "record" doesn't generate errors.
However, when I try to use the students vector within main(), I get 'could not be resolved' errors on the property names or 'invalid arguments' for functions which try to pass the variables. For example,
for(vector<Student_info>::size_type i=0; i!=students.size(); ++i) {
cout << students[i].name
<< string(maxlen+1 - students[i].name.size(), ' ');
produces a "Method 'size' could not be resolved" error and a "Field 'name' could be resolved" error.
It's very odd to me, as I said, because mouseover of the vector students declaration at the beginning of main() produces a hover box with the correct struct definition, indicating the include file is being found and contains the intended definition with the 'name' property defined as a string.
I've been trying to solve this for a couple of days and have searched the web and this site, as well as going over all the code many times. The code seems to be exactly what is in the book and it's not too difficult to figure out what it is supposed to be doing. I haven't been able to find a similar error description here or elsewhere by Googling. These errors prevent the project from compiling and so I can't precede. I'm hoping someone can describe what might possibly cause such a thing.
Here's a shortened version of the file with main in it:
#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <stdexcept>
#include "Student_info.h"
//say what standard library names we use
using std::cin; using std::setprecision;
using std::cout; using std::sort;
using std::domain_error; using std::streamsize;
using std::endl; using std::string;
using std::max; using std::vector;
int main() { // begin main
vector<Student_info> students;
Student_info record;
string::size_type maxlen = 0;
//read and store all the records, and find the length
// of the longest name
while(read(cin, record)) {
maxlen = max(maxlen, record.name.size());
students.push_back(record);
//alphabetize the records
sort(students.begin(), students.end(), compare);
for(vector<Student_info>::size_type i=0; i!=students.size(); ++i) {
// write the name, padded on the right to maxlen+1 chars
cout << students[i].name
<< string(maxlen+1 - students[i].name.size(), ' ');
//compute and write the grade
cout << endl;
return 0;
} // end main
Here are the 'read' functions, which are in a separate file from main and don't seem to be producing any errors:
#include "Student_info.h"
using std::istream; using std::vector;
istream& read_hw(istream& in, vector<double>& hw) {
if (in) {
// get rid of previous contents
hw.clear();
// read homework grades
double x;
while (in >> x)
hw.push_back(x);
// clear the stream so that input will work for the
// next student
in.clear();
return in;
istream& read(istream& is, Student_info s) {
// read and store the student's name and midterm and final exam
is >> s.name >> s.midterm >> s.final;
read_hw(is, s.homework);
return is;
bool compare(const Student_info& x, const Student_info& y) {
return x.name < y.name;
}

Do you mind to try:
for(unsigned i=0; i < students.size(); ++i)
instead of :
for(vector<Student_info>::size_type i=0; i!=students.size(); ++i)

Odd compile errors from /opt/sunstudioceres/prod/include/CC/Cstd/memory

I'm trying to compile an MPI program using Sun Studio Ceres and I'm getting the errors below. The code compiles fine using g++ and openMPI. The non-MPI version of the code compiles fine with the Sun tools.
"/opt/sunstudioceres/prod/include/CC/Cstd/memory", line 798: Error: "," expected instead of "(".
"/opt/sunstudioceres/prod/include/CC/Cstd/memory", line 798: Error: Type name expected instead of "(".
"/opt/sunstudioceres/prod/include/CC/Cstd/rw/locimpl", line 291: Error: Identifier expected instead of "(".
Thanks in advance,
Edward

The header files for the default libCstd have in several places used identifiers like "X" or "T" or "size" that are reserved for programmer (your) use. Technically, the sequence
#define X something
#include <standard_header>
is valid C++, but could break using the libCstd implementation.
This problem was captured in two bug reports:
6785883 Template parameter names in libCstd clash with user macros
6797621 More template parameter names in libCstd clash with user macros
These bugs should be fixed in the next patch released for Sun Studio 12, and are fixed in the Sun Studio Express release coming out in March.

JSP Compilation Error when using OC4J out of the box

Hello.
After installing Java jdk 1.5.0_05, setting ORACLE_HOME, setting JAVA_HOME, rebooting, and installing OC4J standalone straight out of the box, I have deployed a simple web project that consists of just one JSP. I receive the following error message:
NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch jsp Page: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompilationException: Errors compiling: C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java<pre></pre>
I have deployed a number of Flex2 applications without incident. What am I missing here? Another odd thing is that my organization has OAS running and it can render JSPs fine.
Any help is appreciated thanks,
Mike
P.S. I have gone back and set the JSP debug switches, but they do not yeild much more info. Here is the stacktrace:
NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch JSP Page : oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException: <H3>Errors compiling:C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java</H3><pre></pre>

I had the very same Problem, and I spent a lot of time on it.
When installing Oc4j as a service using Javaservice opnesource, I had no problem, even using J.D.K 1.6:
%JSEXE% -install %JSNAME% %JVMDIR%\jvm.dll -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Djava.class.path=%OC4J_HOME%\oc4j.jar -start oracle.oc4j.loader.boot.BootStrap -params -config %OC4J_HOME%\config\server.xml -out %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stdout.log -err %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stderr.log -current %JSBINDIR% -auto -description OC4JService
Then I wanted to install it using "ServiceMill" or "Javaservice Wrapper", becuase it has a better control on the process and I had that awfull compilation error.
I guess it is because ServiceMills uses java.exe and javaservice the .dll to launch the oc4j, no idea.
Anyway, thank you very much!!!!!

Tomcat 4.1 Bean error (Unable to compile class for JSP)

Help,
I am using Tomcat 4.1 with with JDK1.3.1_01. I have a JSP page in which I try to use a Bean, but I get the following error from Tomcat.
The JSP page is very simple. I am using package names in the import statement. Code below.
I've put the class files under

***************** END TOMCAT ERROR MESSAGE *********************

Hi
I am running my Tomcat apps (on a Windows dev machine) in an alternate location (ie. not default webapps). The same crap comes to me every time. Unable to install etc. I have tried every trick in the book regarding classpath settings etc.
When I use 'javap' to check the classpath from any location on my machine, its works and javap returns the signature of my class.
When I use it though Tomcat (with the import set to include the filename), it get the error. I have heard rumors that using JDK 1.3 in stead of 1.4 helps, but I just want it to work with 1.4 :)
So if any of you can help me on this, please.
PS. On my linux server it works just fine, as does every other thing on that machine ;)

This appears to be a CLASSPATH problem (you are missing references to
 'com.ford.redherring.model.*' and 'com.ford.redherring.util.*'). The
 CLASSPATH may be set in the server startup script. Hope this helps.

How to see JSP compilation errors - Tomcat 4.1.18- JDK 1.4

Hi There,
I'm kind of new to JSP world, so once in while I forget to put a ; or I put a variable name wrong (I usualy use Eclipse to do my coding in JAVA, but the existing plugins for JSP development are still in their early stages, so there's isn't any plugin that indicates errors on JSP before deploying them).
When I try to see a JSP, if it has an error (compilation-time error), I get this message:
<--->
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
<--->
This doesn't help me a lot to fix the problem, I would like to, at least, see from what line the error came from.
Help anyone?
Thank You
Pinho

This kind of errors often come from syntax error in
the jsp page.
Tomcat is not very friendly with this kind of errors.
A trick is to open the java file under the 'work'
directory and checkIsn't there any way to show the error on a page, just like a run-time error?
Maybe changing some log setting?

Newbie: jsp compile error w/ tomcat 5.0.19

Hello there, this is my first time try to write something in jsp/ servlets, and i encounter a minor installation problem:
using mdk linux with j2sdk1.4.2 (locate at /usr/local/), tomcat is also locate at /usr/local.
I am able to see HelloServlet.java, and HelloWorld.html at http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloServlet
and http://localhost:8080/testing/HelloWorld.html
but i'm unable to see HelloWorld.jsp at http://localhost:880/HellowWorld.jsp (my HelloWorld.html and HellowWorld.jsp are locate at the same dir)
here's are the things i added in my /etc/profile so far:
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/local/Tomcat"
export CATALINA_HOME
JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2"
export JAVA_HOME
JavaPath="/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/bin"
export JavaPath
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/Tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar:/usr/local/Tomcat/
common/lib/jsp-api.jar:/home/allen/programming/j2ee/:./
export CLASSPATH
when do java -verison, i see:
[root@localhost local]# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)
when start tomcat, i got:
[root@localhost bin]# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/Tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/Tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/Tomcat/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2
i thought i did everything that was told, yet i can't see jsp page on my browser, while i can see servlets and html,
thank you for your time in advance ^_^

sorry, it was a typo, yea...it was for http://localhost:8080/testing/Hello.jsp
this morning, i copied "tool.jar" from j2sdk1.4.2 to my /usr/local/tomcat/common/lib, restarted, fire it up again using "./catalina.sh" just to see where the problems came from, and here's where the compile error occue:
Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

looking over the compiler error, it seems to me tomcat is able to recongize /usr/local/j2sdk1.4 's location. which i assume it implied JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH are setup correctly.
Dunno why it just won't display jsp pages and kept saying compiler error...
thank you for helping

How do I add an included jsp to my project and not get a compile error?

Hi,
I have a project with some included jsp's however if I add them to the project, when I build I get a compile error as the jsp uses variables from the calling jsp.
Any ideas on how to get round this.
Thanks
DM

There are two main ways that I deal with this problem (yeah, it sucks, but it sort of makes sense that it happens...) (I presume you're talking static include here...)
#1 - name the included file with an extension that JDev will not try to compile (.jspf - for JSP Fragment - is common) Then it will be compiled in with the including page, but won't gag the project compilation. Advantage - it works, and you find out at compile time if you hosed up the variable reference. Disadvantage: JDev tries really, really, really hard to keep you from naming a JSP file with an extension of .jspf I normally create the .jsp file in JDev, remove it from the project, rename the file outside of JDeveloper, then add it back to the project - pain in the butt, but it works (and you probably aren't building scads of these included files...)
#2 - add the variable to be referenced to the pageContext implicit object as an attribute in your including page (ex, <% pageContext.setAttribute("myVar", myVar); %>), then reference that attribute in your included JSP (ex, <%= pageContext.getAttribute("myVar") %>) . It will compile fine (as the compiler has no way of knowing if the pageContext attribute actually exists, it just sees that the syntax is good and motors along merrily. Advantage: don't have to have differently named JSP files (which isn't actually a big deal). Disadvantage: You hvae to add the variable to the pageContext (and you have to always add Object derivatives, as primitives won't go into a hash) and you don't find out if you screwed the variable up until runtime (when it tries the getAttribute, which could return null if you didn't properly set it to start with) vs at compile-time w/ the direct reference.
HTH!

I am getting this error in JSP at compile time, have no idea whatd going wrong here..!! Everything in the code looks good.
Please help..!! The error is:
Error 500: Unable to compile class for JSP /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/temp/jasi80corpgeNode/HRAppServer/Billinginterface/BillingInterfaceWEB.war/_select_5F_course.java:188: Type expected. } catch (Throwable t) { ^ 1 error

Everything looks good, but then you can never spot your own mistakes :-)
There are a couple of things.
1 - curly brackets in scriptlets. Make sure they are all opened and closed correctly.
2 - Custom tags (JSTL and the like) need to be closed. If it is a simple tag, have you forgotten the slash before the closing angle bracket? ie is it <c:out value="hello"> when it should be <c:out value="hello"/>
Take a look at the generated java code at /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/temp/jasi80corpgeNode/HRAppServer/Billinginterface/BillingInterfaceWEB.war/_select_5F_course.java, line 188
See if you can make any sense out of the java file generated from the jsp
If you want any more specific help than this, please post some jsp code :-)
If you don't want to do that, I would recommend commenting all the code out with <%-- --%>
get it to compile, and then uncomment a bit at a time
Good luck,
