Oops! Forgot to put the subject !! Sorry for the repost! Hi Jose, We faced the same problem too and after days of frustration, finally found that the jsp compiler after generating the .java file and then attempting to compile and create the class file,=3D20 finds <dbtest\update.jsp> in the comment of the .java file(referring to the line number in the .jsp file).=3D20 This makes the compiler think that you have '\u' in your code against = =3D which it issues an "Invalid escape character" error message. The only way around it is to rename your file not to start with a 'u' :) Sajid Mohammed. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and = reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jose Castro Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2000 10:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Invalid escape character ...
