Hi, as the subject says, I have problems with jikes when the tomcat installation directory contains blanks. I have tried to fix the problem to store to short name of the installation directory into TOMCAT_HOME but it didn't help? Any ideas what I should do? Because we deliver our software with tomcat it must work with blanks in the installation directory too. Here is the error message I get (the installation directory was E:\program files): org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP Found 1 system error: *** Error: The directory specified in the "-d" option, "E:\program", is either invalid or it could not be expanded. -- Zsolt Koppany Intland GmbH www.intland.com Schulze-Delitzsch-Strasse 16 D-70565 Stuttgart Tel: +49-711-7871080 Fax: +49-711-7871017
