Thanks to anyone out there in the ether that responds... Did my homework, still can't figure it out... After hours spinning through the archives of this mail forum, I have to break down and ask for help.... I am trying to run a simple login.jsp from /opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/portal2 The URL would be like http://999.99.99.245:8080/portal2/logon.jsp Even the simplest Hello world .JSP yields the error below. I have re-installed Tomcat, thrashed around with the /conf/server.xml, sacrificed a chicken, and still no luck The weird thing is that I have another application defined in this Tomcat instance located at /opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/portal/servlet If I address a URl like http://999.99.99.245:8080/portal/servlet/logon.jsp This works fine, the .JSP compiles clean and all is well. Any ideas? Error: 500 Location: /portal2/logon.jsp Internal Servlet Error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP/opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/work/localhost_8080%2Fportal2/_0002flogon_0002ejsplogon_jsp_0.java:52: Incompatible type for =.
