Hi all, I am running Tomcat 3.2.3 on NT/IIS with the Jikes compiler, and noticed if the server is reset (i.e. power glitch) without a normal shutdown, the work directory seems to get corrupted. The symptoms are that the JSPs can't be compiled until the associated class files (that otherwise compile fine) are deleted from the work directory. I couldn't find any discussion on this problem in the archives or the web, except for the possibly related discussion at: http://www.javaclue.org/tomcat/patch32b6/letspatch.html#step5 I was surprised to see that patch (against 3.2.1) hadn't been applied to 3.2.3, but it didn't work anyway. In case it was Jikes, I tried manually recompiling the JSP source in the work directory, and that worked fine. (The JSP source gets regenerated OK... it just won't compile). Any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated! The jasper.log file gives: 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - JspEngine --> /contextAdmin/contextAdmin.jsp 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - ServletPath: /contextAdmin/contextAdmin.jsp 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - PathInfo: null 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - RealPath: C:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\admin\contextAdmin\contextAdmin.jsp 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - RequestURI: /admin/contextAdmin/contextAdmin.jsp 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - QueryString: submit=View+All+Contexts&addContextPath=&addContextDocBase=&removeContextNam e= 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Request Params: 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - removeContextName = 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - addContextPath = 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - submit = View All Contexts 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - addContextDocBase = 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Classpath according to the Servlet Engine is: C:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\admin\WEB-INF\classes 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Package name is: contextAdmin 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Class file name is: C:\jakarta-tomcat\work\localhost_8080%2Fadmin\_0002fcontextAdmin_0002fcontex tAdmin_0002ejspcontextAdmin.class The tomcat.log file gives: 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Ctx( /admin ): JasperException: R( /admin + /contextAdmin/contextAdmin.jsp + null) Unable to compile class for JSP And the browser response is: Root cause: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ClassName.processClassData(ClassName.java:89) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ClassName.getClassName(ClassName.java:191) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspCompiler.getRealClassName(JspCompiler.java:136 ) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspCompiler.getClassName(JspCompiler.java:150) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.computeServletClassName(Compiler.java:31 2) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.doLoadJSP(JspServlet.java:615) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader12.loadJSP(JasperLoader12.java:146) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.loadJSP(JspServlet.java:542) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.loadIfNecessary(JspSe rvlet.java:258) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.ja va:268) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:429) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:500) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:405) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:287) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:81 2) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:758) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpC onnectionHandler.java:213) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:501) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) --- Ken Grigg mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
