Tomcat can't compile JSP

Hi,
I'm using Ecliple 2.1 with JBOSS 3.2.2 and Tomcat 4.1.24 on XP
I can separately run JBOSS+Tomcat from command prompt, but when i start them from Eclipse, Tomcat fails to compile very first JSP. (Internal error). From examining error stack trace i see that tomcat tries to create process "javac.exe" with too lengthy classpath. It seems that the classpath is getting truncated.
Has anybody had similar problem?
Thanks in advance,
Leonid.

i guess it is not the too lengthy classpath...
just chek that when u run the application from eclipse.. r u seting the classpath.. and that classpath should not have any spaces in it..
for ex: a directory like c:\program files \ should be as c:\progra~1\..
ot any jar file in the classpath has spaces...
this may be one of the reason that the classpath gets truncated...

Embedded Tomcat Can't Compile JSP from JAR

I've got a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I hope someone might shed some light on this.
I have a desktop java application that has Tomcat embedded in it. I'm creating a jar file of just myapp's *.class files and I specify the main-class and classpath in the manifest file. If I execute the jar the following way, it works fine:
set CLASS_PATH=.;.\myapp.jar;.........all of the required Tomcat classes....;.\lib\anotherLib.jar
javaw -ea -classpath %CLASS_PATH% com.myapp.Application
But if I try to execute it this way, it runs and starts Tomcat. However, when Tomcat tries to compile a JSP, it can't find packages such as javax.servlet, javax.servlet.jsp, org.apache.jasper.runtime, and so forth.
I believe It has something to do with the classpath. Does anybody have any ideas?

Tomcat won't compile jsps if they are in any directory other than root

I'm running a new instance of Tomcat, and can't get a simple jsp file to compile, if it's in any directory other than the root.
The jsp is:
<%@ page import="test.Simple" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html" language="java" %>
<html>
<body><%=Simple.makeText()%>
</body>
</html>
and the Simple class is:
package test;
import java.util.Random;
public class Simple {
public static String makeText() {
return String.valueOf(new Random().nextInt());
When I place the jsp in the root directory, it works fine.
When I place the jsp in any subfolder (eg: /debug/1b.jsp), I get the following error:
HTTP Status 500 -

I looked into the Tomcat work directory, and it looked as if the jsp was successfully converted to a java file. I'm not sure where to look, as all the settings are defaults.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

:D :D :D...
My friend it'd be great idea if you can find google tutorial on TOMCAT/web application basics
anyways coming back to your problem
whenever,an application is deployed on tomcat a new folder is being created at the following location %CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/ with respect to application name.
Therefore try to maintain an architecture like the one below if you programmin any web application.
%CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/<applicationName>/(place all your .jsp files)
-----------------%CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/<applicationName>/META_INF/(Place your mainfest files & context specific configuration files)
-----------------%CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/<applicationName>/WEB_INF/ (Genrally used to save secured files which cannot be access directly and always make sure you prepare a web.xml file associated to the application)
-----------------%CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/<applicationName>/WEB_INF/lib (place where all your .jar file libraries are being placed)
-----------------%CATILINA_HOME%/webapp/<applicationName>/WEB_INF/classes (place where all your .class,resource files are being placed as the pacakage structure you have choosed in)
If this doesnot work even if you ensuring everything's right.Reading through tutorials & speding time on finding resources by yourself would be a great idea.
I hope there are no hard issue on this. :)

Can u Compile JSP into a Servlet?

Hey,
I've heard of 'compliling jsp into a servlet.' I'm not sure if this is just reffering to the fact that the jsp/servlet engine does this on the fly when serving a jsp request or if one can actully obtain a .java file out of the jsp without doing it by hand.
If so, how do you do this??
THANKS!
THABARREN

look in Tomcat's /bin directory for a script called jspc.bat (or jspc.sh) - this can be used from a command line to convert a JSP to a servlet and compile it.
Alternatively, the web server will have a "working" directory where it puts the servlet files it creates from JSPs (in Tomcat's case it's the "/work" directory). - just look in there after the JSP has been requested by a client.

Standalone OC4J can't compile JSPs?

I've been following this tutorial: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/OracleServerAdapter/OracleServerAdapter.html
in order to get my Eclipse working with my 10.1.3 standalone OC4J server.
However, every time I try to run the index.jsp page, I get the following error:
J2EE JSP0008 Unable to dispatch JSP Page : Exception:oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException: <H3>Errors compiling:C:\ORACLE\oc4j\j2ee\home\application-deployments\DemoOC4J\DemoOC4J\persistence\_pages\\_index.java</H3><pre></pre>
I imagine that there's some sort of java path error of some sort but I can't seem to figure out what it would be. I have my JAVA_HOME set to my JDK 1.5 . ( \jdk1.5.0_11 ). Any ideas or pointers as to what I need to do to get this thing going?
Thanks

After digging for days, I found this thread:
OC4J Preview - JSP not problem
Turns out that Eclipse set it's Java library defaults to the JRE directory and not the JDK. After changing it to the JDK, I've got JSP compilation success!

Can't compile JSPs with Forte 4

I upgraded to forte 4 CE. Now I cannot compile my JSP's because they are not finding my class files.
They all worked in Forte 3 ce.
If I have class MyClass()
and try to create an instance in my JSP
MyClass mc = new MyClass()
It gives the 'cannot resolve symbol' error on MyClass object.
What happened? I haven't changed anything. I have about 10 jsps and a bunch of Classes that all worked and now don't.
I checked the product support for Forte and couldn't find anything.
If anybody else had this problem and figured it out please post your solution.
Thanks.
-chiranjp

i am having the same problem using my "homemade" class with forte.
I have all of the .java and .class files and even have a .jar file but it still cannot find them
could you please give me more details on how you reached your solution?
where did you place the files so that forte found them?
any and all help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Can't compile jsp

Hello all.
I've searched this forum for four hours,
I tried many suggestions but still there is no answer to my problem !
I recently developed a website.
In a form that I have in my jsp, stepOne.jsp,
the user need to choose a username.
His input goes to servlet, "StepOneServlet.class".
If the user selected a new username (that not appear in the database)
he will be redirected to stepTwo.jsp.
If the specific username already exist, the user will be redirected to
message.jsp.
According to the address bar in my browser, the redirections work fine,
and there is no database problem.
My only problem is :
In both cases I'm getting the same error page !!!!!!
When I'm being redirect to message.jsp, I get the page :

1) I deleted the folder ...\Tomcat 5.5\work many times.
2) In line 99 (stepTwo_jsp.java) it says :
if (_jspx_page_context != null) jspxpage_context.handlePageException(t);
3) In line 73 (message_jsp) it says :
if (_jspx_page_context != null) jspxpage_context.handlePageException(t);
I'm now transforming my project from netbeans to tomcat only.
With netbeans - there are no errors.
Thank you for your time....
waiting for your replays.

Can't compile jsp under sun application server

im trying to make my first web app using sun java system application server and the server says that cant find "tools.jar" and it give me some explanation of the issue, but i cant solve it. i was in the same trouble when using tomcat but i could solve the problem copying tools.jar under the common/lib tomcat's directory, but under sun java system application server where do i have to copy that archive??, is it necesary??
thanks for your help!!...

You have to put it in the classpath of the webserver if it's anything like IPlanet.
You need admin permissions for that.

This is a new problem with jdk1.4 when compiling with tomcat.
The solution is to ensure that any classes in WEB-INF/classes are in a package structure and the relevant jsp calls the same using the package name.

Where can I find compiled JSP?

is this a FAQ?
          when I drop a jsp into the web app docroot, I invoke it and it works.
          Where can I find the compiled .class file for this JSP? Also, it is
          possible to specify to weblogic to preserve the Java source also?
          in v70, I recall the compiled JSPs being put into a temp directory. I
          haven't found that temp in my v81b install.
          Thanks,
          -Dino


If you just drop jsp into the running webapp, the classfiles go into
          $SERVER/.wlnotdelete
          For example on my box:
          ./myserver/.wlnotdelete/extract/myserver_simpleEAR_web/jsp_servlet/__bar.cla
          ss
          Muthu is correct about the snippet to make the server "keep" the .java
          files, you can also turn this on in the console under webapp --> Descriptor.
          Cheers

JSP Can't compile

Using OC4J 9.03
Launching OC4J as standalone server, noone JSP can be compiled because a NoClassDefFoundError for the class
sun/tools/javac/Main.
I copied in the j2ee\home directory the tools.jar file, that include this class, but the problem persists.
All the environmente variables (JAVA_HOME, J2EE_HOME, CLASSPATH and so on) are properly (I hope) setted.
Has someone any suggestion?
Thanks

Is the "JAVA_HOME" variable pointing to a JDK distribution, or a JRE?

Can't compile.

Hi,
I was a VB developer and started to develop using java recently.
I had to do some modification in a existing java project uses tomcat as the web server. I'm using Jbuilder 9 toas my editor. what I'm doing is open files using jbuilder and do the modification. I did couple of changes in my jsp files and those changes are working fine. Recently I had to do a modification in one of .java file. So I opened the file using Jbuilder and did the modification. then when I tried to compile the file It gave a lot of errors. when i run the site without the change i did to .java file it's working perfectly.
most of the error like.
<file name>.package <path> doesnot exist at line <line number>, column<column number>
but those files exist in relavant folders reffered and i think when i'm compiling the .java file it can't refer those files.
How can I compile my .java file and make the .class file.
Thanks in advance.

How to Compile Jsp File in Class File , Protect my JSP from outworld

Hello Friends
My name is chandra prakash, I'm new for u. I've develop a web based software completely in JSP, some files are also written in Java Script. This software have aprox. 40 files --> 30 in JSP + 2 in Java Script + 8 image files .
Each JSP calls another. and run this on 58 clints machine simultaneusly. we used Oracle 9iAS as back end and Oracle9iAS web Server . Where we found less clients like 20-30 we use Tomcat 5.0 web server .Sir problem is this we don't wan't to leave our jsp source code on server.
Is any method or third party tool by which we can convert our JSP source file in CLASS file as like real class files provide by javac.
For this perpose we make a folder and put all files in it. Create a context on Tomcat for this folder.Create a data source for this in tomcat. Bcase this program uses Data source and connect many times to database & fetches many type of data from database. We use servlet files of tomcat for this context in WORK folder of Tomcat. and after that rename our Source file Folder. and again run our program through batch file i'm strange program runs 2-3 steps, after few times it start producing errors.
Sir do u hava work on this field can u help me to protect this JSP source code.
I've Use Jikes.com compiler but not get any succes, It may be i'm not using correctly .
Pls sir give me any suggesition.
