RE: Error loop for R - Tomcat 3.3.1a
Sid,
The code where the exception is occurring is:
private final String getAbsolutePathRelativeToContext(String
relativeUrlPath) {
String path = relativeUrlPath;
if (!path.startsWith(/)) {
String uri = (String)
request.getAttribute(javax.servlet.include.servlet_path);
if (uri == null)
uri = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getServletPath();
401 String baseURI = uri.substring(0, uri.lastIndexOf('/'));
path = baseURI+'/'+path;
}
return path;
}
The code is trying to convert the weblmpagetop.jsp relative
path to a path from the root of the webapp. What Jasper has to
work with to establish where weblmpagetop.jsp is located is
failing the uri.lastIndexOf('/'). This suggests the problem
is related to the forwards that are occurring prior to reaching
the include. Perhaps there is something that needs to start with
a '/' that doesn't.
I can't say that this isn't due to a quirk, bug, or spec ambiguity,
as opposed the webapp doing something wrong with respect to
the Servlet 2.2 spec. It sounds like you are stuck with 3.3.1
as is. Hopefully a reasonable workaround can be found.
Cheers,
Larry

Subject: Error loop for R - Tomcat 3.3.1a
I am currently working on a web application that uses
Tomcat 4.1.27 and JDK 1.4.2_03.
The same piece of code now needs to be supported on Tomcat
3.3.1 and JDK 1.4.2_08. I managed to get the classes, jsps
coompile and built by modifying the ant script. In fact even
the application runs perfect and the functionalities are
working as expected. Although, all is not good as it seems
so. In the backend, the tomcat - startup windows isn't quite
happy with the changes. I repeatedly get the following error
and I can make out very little from it.
I can think of possible cause as this code in my jsp but not
really sure:
jsp:include page=weblmpagetop.jsp flush=true
jsp:param name=disable-session-validation value=true /
jsp:param name=body-title-text value=%= title % /
jsp:param name=body-location-text value=%= location
% / /jsp:include
Exception thrown in tomcat-start up window is below:

RE: Error loop for R - Tomcat 3.3.1a
Hey Larry,
Finally a refresh click brought a smile on my face :-)
Yeah, it is one of those scenarios where people want backward support as
against to moving forward.
One thing that I dont understand is that the UIs are working very well. In
fact I am able to change the password (that is when these exceptions are
thrown) and is updated as well. Then why this backend exception. Any thoughts
here?
Also, there is a forward that is called before the include as you pointed
out. Do you have any ideas on what tweaking I can try?
Thanks again for your reply.

RE: Error loop for R - Tomcat 3.3.1a
I'm afraid I don't have any simple guesses as to
what to change. It appears there are multiple forwards
occurring and it may be the multiple that is the
root cause of this behavior. You can experiment with
changes to see what happens, or try to run tomcat in
a debugger to see if you can determine what
((HttpServletRequest) request).getServletPath() is
returning and why it doesn't have the expected '/'.
If you want to try the latter, source for Tomcat 3.3.1
or 3.3.1.a can be found here:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-3/archive/
An alternative to debugging is to create a classes
directory under lib/container and extract the source
for PageContextImpl into the package appropriate
subdirectory. Then add System.out.println()s, and
compile. When Tomcat is run, the PageContextImpl under
classes will take precedence over the one in
jasper.jar, allowing you to gather clues.
HTH,
Larry
