I am trying to set up Apache Tomcat6.0.13 for jsp development. I have followed all instructions I can find for installation.
I installed java jdk1.6.0_01. I set the port for Tomcat to 80, the JavaHome environment variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01 and the ClassPath to *CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\jsp-api.jar I startup the Tomcat server. I can access http://localhost and it takes me to the tomcat site. If I run http://localhost/hello.html It displays the expected site. If I run http://localhost/hello.jsp I get the following HTTP Status 500 exception: * org.apache.jasper.JasperException: File "/WEB-INF/jsp2/jsp2-example-taglib.tld" not found org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:51) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:409) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:116) org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.<init>(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:160) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:420) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:476) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1426) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:133) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.doParse(ParserController.java:216) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.parse(ParserController.java:103) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateJava(Compiler.java:167) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:306) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:286) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:273) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:566) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:317) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:320) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) I have tried other .jsp files and they do not work either. I am not sure if I need to change some of the configuration settings, or something else. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks
