I'm having a problem when running JSPs using the embedded Tomcat engine.
When I navigate to my JSP page, I receive the error below. I'm not certain
that the javac compiler is included anywhere in the jBoss distribution nor
the JRE I'm using. This brings up a few questions:
1) Is a JDK required rather than just a JRE when using JSPs?
2) Is there anyway to deploy a JSP in jBoss for testing purposes
without needing to create the EAR/WEB files? My current sample
is creating all of these. Do I need to create the EAR structure
perhaps only once and then simply recompile the web classes
into the proper directory structure and then touch the
application.xml to redploy?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Andy
