Anil,
Okay, after a bit of hacking around (trying to break it and put it back
together), I think I have found the cause of a couple of the problems that
some people have been having.
With regards to the error 404 message that a number of people have been
having. This is caused by not installing the reference implementation from
a root directory (i.e it needs to be installed as C:\jsp1.0 instead of, for
example, C:\temp\jsp1.0). Also, startserver
needs to be ran from the \JSP1.0 directory, or a "file not found" error
message is generated. Adding \jsp1.0 to the PATH and running startserver
from anywhere other than the \jsp1.0 directory will cause this problem. Is
this because there are paths hardcoded in the implementation?
I also think that there are either a) differences in the installation using
jdk1.1.8 and jdk1.2.1 or b) the jsp1.0 reference implementation doesn't run
under the jdk1.1.8 at all. i'm not saying that the latter is the case,
merely that I, and a few others couldn't get it working.
I think that it would be appreciated if you could clear up this issue.
With regards to getting the implementation running, here is how I did it
(under NT4 sp3):
*Installed jdk1.2.1
*Installed jsp1.0 reference implementation under c:\
*Added the jdk1.2.1\lib\tools.jar file to the CLASSPATH - you're right, the
dt.jar file isn't needed.
*Added the jsp1.0\server.jar and servlet.jar file to the CLASSPATH - I
know that the startserver batch file does this at run time but I prefer to
have it as a permanent entry.
*Added jdk1.2.1\bin director to the PATH, in order for startserver to pick
up java.exe - though this is in the installation notes for the reference
implementation.
Currently, I am only able to run the reference implementation under Netscape
4.07. Internet Explorer 5 generates a "page cannot be displayed error".
Any ideas?
Whew! I think that's about it. I hope this goes some way to helping solve
some of the problems, and hope it doesn't cause too many others!
If some feedback could be given on these issues, it would be gratefully
appreciated.
Regards,
Jody Brown.
