I'll try it, can't do any harm... Dave -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Meakin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 June 2002 17:36 To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/jasper/JspC
This is a bit of a wild-goose-chase sort of response, but I've had a similar problem, and resolved it down to the fact that although the correct jars were in the classpath, the classpath was somehow "too long" for the VM, and some jars didn't get picked up. Just in case this is an issue on your machine, you could try (as a test only) copying all the jars you need into a directory such as D:\l and make your classpath much shorter. I doubt if it is this, but I spent the best part of a day scratching my head before I found that out..

"[java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/jasper/JspC [java] Exception in thread "main" I am using 1.5Beta3. I have the distributed "optional.jar" in the lib directory. I have copied "jasper-runtime.jar" and "jasper-compiler.jar" to the lib directory. The LOCALCLASSPATH echoed from the ant.bat is as follows "D:\jdk1.3.1_03\lib\tools.jar;D:\jakarta-ant-1.5Beta3\lib\xml-apis.jar;D:\ja karta-ant-1.5Beta3\lib\xercesImpl.jar;D:\jakarta-ant-1.5Beta3\lib\optional.j ar;D:\jakarta-ant-1.5Beta3\lib\jasper-runtime.jar;D:\jakarta-ant-1.5Beta3\li b\jasper-compiler.jar;D:\jakarta-ant-1.5Beta3\lib\ant.jar;.;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\endorsed\xercesImpl.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\endorsed\xmlParserAPIs.jar;D:\DB2\java\db2java.zip;D:\DB2\java\ru ntime.zip;D:\DB2\java\sqlj.zip;D:\DB2\bin;C:\Documents and Settings\dgibbs\My Documents\work\shop_prototype\lib\j2ee.jar;D:\jakarta-log4j-1.2\dist\lib\log 4j-1.2.jar;" There is some duplication in there because I have been trashing a bit tragically at this problem. Do y'all believe the error to be as reported or could it be some further dependency ? As a reality check I have been trying to run jspc.bat from the tomcat 4.1 distribution and am getting a similarly inexplicable NoClassDefFoundError for "org/xml/sax/SAXException". I'm a bit puzzled since this class is distributed in "..\common\endorsed\xmlParserAPIs.jar". Is it something to do with the uninitialised property -Djava.endorsed.dirs="%JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS%" which I find in the jasper.bat file ? I'm not sure about the meaning if the "endorsed directories". I'd be very grateful if some-one who has worked through this could help. btw.. JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, JASPER_HOME environment variables all appear to be correctly set.
