Try this: session = (HttpSession)pageContext.getSession(); -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat 3.2.1 JSP compile problem - A quick look, please? 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_0002e jsplogon_jsp_0.java:52: Incompatible type for =.
