Checked everything you suggested to me. From the command prompt, the
Classpath it builds includes, among several other things,
c:\jdk\lib\tools.jar .
I verified that this is, indeed, where the tools.jar is located at.
I then went and found the examples of JSP pages that is provided with
Tomcat. Displaying web pages and servlets works just fine. However,
whenever I try and view a JSP page, I get the following error:
Root cause:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main
Any other suggestions?
