When I uncomment out the section in web.xml to use jikes as the compiler for jsp compiles, jasper throws an exception (exception stack trace included below) . The jasper.log has no helpful information as what the compile problem is. This compile error does not occur when jikes is not being used for jsp compiles. (i.e. The section in web.xml is still commented out.) I would guess this means some additional configuration needs to be done to allow jikes to be the jsp compiler. Any suggestions?
