I'm trying to use the Jspc ant task to precompile JSP pages. It's almost working except for one problem. I made a minimal webapp, with the usual structure, and just one empty JSP file. The task runs fine and compiles the JSP without problems.

But as soon as I put log4j-1.2.9.jar into my WEB-INF/lib directory, it doesn't work any more. I get the following exception:

 [jasper2] java.lang.NullPointerException

 [jasper2] Error in class org.apache.jasper.JspC

I tried different versions of log4j, without success. Any other jar files don't bother Jspc, but as soon as I put log4j in WEB-INF/lib, I get this exception.

The funny thing is, WEB-INF/lib isn't even in the classpath of the JspC task. And if I put log4j in ${tomcat.home}/common/lib (which is in the classpath), I don't get the exception.

Well, I can't figure it out... anybody know why this could be happening?

Thanks.
