This seems telling:

    [javac] javac: invalid flag: C:\Program

It seems like some kind of path with a space in it is being passed to the
compiler, but it is not being quoted properly.

javac -classpath C:\Program Files\somelib\lib.jar ...

(should be: javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\somelib\lib.jar" ...)

However, I would kind of expect the error to be "invalid flag:
Files\somelib\lib.jar" in that case, since the C:\Program part is before the
space. Could you have some kind of funky classpath like "C:\dir\lib.jar;
C:\Program Files\poop\stuff.jar" (note the space after the ';'). Are you
setting the classpath for the server process yourself, perhaps by starting
Tomcat using your own script (rather than startup.bat)? Or do you have some
strange classpath in your environment before you start Tomcat?

Subject: Tomcat error with compiling JSPs


hi,

I am trying to install my application on another server (Tomcat 4.1). I have
built a WAR file from an ANT build file but when I install it on Tomcat and
try to access it I get the following error:


HTTP Status 500 -

I have done this process many times before using the exact same ANT file as
I always do but cannot figure out for the life of me why it won't work. Also
to note that I've installed another application today which worked fine
without these errors. Does anybody know what could be causing this? My JSP
does not contain any references to the local directory and is the exact same
page that I use in my other application.

Is this error caused by a fault in the ANT file?

any help would be really appreciated as i'm stumped!!

claire :)
