I wonder what the problematic classes were, here. Tomcat is supposed to prohibit loading certain classes from within the web application. For example, it's not okay for a web application to provide its own implementation of java.lang.Object or java.lang.String. There are certain packages which are supposed to be "protected" (not in the Java sense of the word, but in the "security" sense of the word) from corruption by (broken) web applications. Perhaps something is included in the rt.jar file that "shouldn't be" but Tomcat is allowing it to load. Could you post the manifest of the rt.jar file? Like this: $ jar tf rt.jar It will be a huge list, but that's okay: go ahead and post it, anyway. - -chris > On 12/01/2018 14:38, "Sean Brett" > wrote: > >> Comments at the bottom.

Re: Jasper Exception when using Tomcat 9 but works with Tomcat 5.5
In case anyone else has such an issue, it appears that this was all caused by the rt.jar in the webapps WEB-INF/lib directory. I removed that jar for one of the other webapps exhibiting the same issue and it resolved the issue. On 12/01/2018 14:38, "Sean Brett" wrote: >Comments at the bottom.

Moving to a later Tomcat version is best. We'll help you figure out these issues so you can use a current version and be better-equipped to stay current into the future. > Most of the similar issues I have found have suggested this would > be related to the jar files and possibly some sort of conflict. > However, the lib structure for tomcat 9 is different to tomcat5 and > I'm not sure which jars could be causing this. e.g. > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22552244/tomcat-7-fails-to-compile - -jsp- > > pages JAR files might conflict, but that depends upon what you have done so far. Easy questions: 1. Have you added anything to Tomcat's lib/ directory (that would be CATALINA_HOME/lib or CATALINA_BASE/lib -- or both) after installing Tomcat 8/9? 2. What JAR files are bundled with your application in WEB-INF/lib ? > I've also tried changing the index.jsp into a simpler (HelloWorld) > form - removing any code.

In both cases the exception is still thrown. Can you post the full text of HelloWorld.jsp? I'm wondering if you have some odd syntax or are expecting to use a "custom base JSP servlet class" or something like that which is no longer compatible with Tomcat's current JSP servlet. If so, we'll try to figure out why the custom code was necessary and make arrangements to replace it. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQJRBAEBCAA7FiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAlpXh1QdHGNocmlzQGNo cmlzdG9waGVyc2NodWx0ei5uZXQACgkQHPApP6U8pFiFnA//ebj5XoXFXG0vEAIA DVSR2X8JwfeiW5Fiamt1h1jw1a/zl92Q9TBsqJ4ocxceipules1+us7Tpi0QyURt OozqydqC8+qm7N/m/LBPk8Mxo/dMgV7s5Yk2bITlQFbPzKrlkgfL2YKDcbsNlBWs RZxUdVD11GkdDp9DGUDdoYcMjYW+nDhHr9NLjlKvpyCUZ1lwJ68uSPahzJL6/ba+ FNiXsghDNGi7aZOh8P0Hy3A/5pYhdugcU8M1HYtMbdGrmqaKGB9afjGT7Odp5Eo+ 38bIc5wWJZN9Ak6IVzi3Avloa3STckDuzGlWkTS82q9cpG8uy461F2MHC0yjZha6 +rZz299/QZ2Ouzbc2ICUxJLWsQvSfWii9zdAS8y6+LevmyFzpgbTdTsQfOPicGtc +Ow9VWl2SJe+sPNFkgOdKP+XkKTOPUJjdP+hhjOzUPpEjJ71Hcf5x8bZ1EuceAt4 ORnM9LCFY4ecSIAhmMivdajxHHHf2IWvCnI4emaTjlULUiyq70go9bBAjiTd2k18 oMsr1gIXgWonp3Gl3RW7/o/fXilaPIOJeEeKPEKgPtvEFf56EkkAouPo/KXiDIMF CJMDPGSPx2n7ITZcFJnT0vIZFIJh9fZqUuxAnqG/f5A9cN7QGQf2sORKUgWMOZtp 5G743rnFC/IQE3t1irkHxn/yK0s= =W9Le -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
