Hi, Hm :(
Are you able to clarify what you mean by "a well configured Ant which is able to use a Java compiler." Perhaps this is where the problem lies? My Ant setup is such that I have ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME env vars set. I have ANT_HOME/bin and JAVA_HOME/bin on the PATH. The ant and javac commands work on the command line. I can run the Tomcat build script and many other build scripts with ant to build software (including Tomcat). This for me looks like at least a configured Ant. Am I missing some link that you know of? In terms of installing the deployer, I literally did the following: 1. Downloaded 5.5.11-alpha Deployer 2. Unzipped to c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.11-deployer 3. Created deployer.properties, setting the 4 or 5 properties required for the web application 4. Moved to c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.11-deployer 5. Executed ant compile 6. File copy works etc... but then I get the exception with the jasper2 task. Then I got your suggestion 7. Copy jdt compiler jar frmo common/lib to c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.11-deployer\lib 8. Executed ant compile Same error occurs however. I don't _think_ I have done anything funny but you never know ;) Your help is appreciated, Allistair. > -----Original Message----- > From: Remy Maucherat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 August 2005 14:55 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Client Deployer 5.5.11 NullPointerException > > > On 8/25/05, Allistair Crossley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'd really love to I assure you, but I really don't > > > > a) have years and years of architecting Tomcat development > to trace through how Jasper2 works and > > b) the time whilst I am sat here working for a corporation > trying to get Tomcat working for the business > > > > For what it's worth (which is nothing I realise) I do > realise that jspCompiler.init(this, jsw) is throwing the > exception because the jspCompiler returned from the compiler > = (Compiler) Class.forName(className).newInstance(); is null > due to what must be a CNFE (looks like logging is needed > there).
