Hi all, I am using Tomcat 5.0.16(for testing purpose only). When a page is having an error like missing semicolon or a special character in code it is giving the following error in browser. org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
No Java compiler was found to compile the generated source for the JSP. This can usually be solved by copying manually $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar from the JDK to the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server, followed by a Tomcat restart. If using an alternate Java compiler, please check its installation and access path. org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandl er.java:127) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java: 351) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:415) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:458) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:439) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java: 552) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java: 291) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:301) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:248) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) Interestingly it is printing lots of lines in console including the classpath and the actual error(; expected). I am using it on Win2k SP4 machine which have both JDK1.3.1 and 1.4.1 installed. I compiled Tomcat from source. I remember that JDK 1.4.1 is used for compiling Tomcat and in startup.bat I have set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME to JDK1.4.1. On getting error message I copied tools.jar to common\lib and error persists.
