!!! Jsp compilation error in deploying : in migrating from WLS 8.1 to 9.2

Question

Hi,
We are trying to migrate a .war file from WLS 8.1 to WLS 9.2. After other changes are done, while deploying the .war file in in WLS 9.2 we are getting errors for a jsp file:
1> Syntax error near 'import' ^-------------------^
2> at Line 6 ;The qualifier of this name is a package,which cannot contain methods ^---------------------^
the jsp is simple one & goes like this:: (this jsp file also included in another jsp file .... not sure if this causing the problem ?)
<%@ page import="com.src.config.ConfigurationManager" %> // this class is properly present in /WEb-INF/classes/com/src/config/ .... causing error 1
<%
String sRequestURI = request.getRequestURI();
String sBaseURI = sRequestURI.substring(0, sRequestURI.lastIndexOf("/"));
ConfigurationManager configMan = ConfigurationManager.getInstance(); // Line 6 .. causing error 2
String sOraRoot = configMan.getProperty("OraRoot");
%>
any help please !!

Answer 1

Hi,
You can get rid of JSP version specific problems by using the following weblogic.xml file:-
<weblogic-web-app>
<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>backwardCompatible</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>
<weblogic-web-app>
It will also confirm if the error you are seeing is due to JSP version differences in 8.1 and 9.x.
Regards.
