I have several confirmations of this error on-site here, but I haven't found any reports of it in searching the maillist archives.
In testing a simple MVC version of a stack class, The classes and JSPs work properly under Tomcat 4.0.1, but fail (reproducibly) under Tomcat 4.0.2. This has now been tested and confirmed on multiple platforms (Win2000, Mac OS X) on multiple machines. The problem appears to be in the JSTL resolution. The sample 788KB WAR file is available at http://www2.hawaii.edu/~wdoane/stackmvc.war Working from a simple, basic install of both Tomcat 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, changing nothing other than the CATALINA_HOME environment variable (to point to one or the other) produces the following effect: In 4.0.1: The stackmvc.war unpacks, compiles, and functions properly. In 4.0.2: The stackmvc.war unpacks, DOES NOT compile the welcome.jsp, and fails. The compile failure appears to be caused by taglib code in the included Header.jsp file, namely: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/core"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="req" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/request-1.0"; %> The error message generated is a 500 internal server configuration error: org.apache.jasper.compiler.CompileException: /welcome.jsp(0,0) This absolute uri (http://java.sun.com/jstl/ea/core) cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspParseEventListener.handleDirective(JspParseEve ntListener.java:787) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DelegatingListener.handleDirective(DelegatingList ener.java:121) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser$Directive.accept(Parser.java:255) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:1145) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:1103) ... and so on. Switching CATALINA_HOME back to the 4.0.1 install and restarting Tomcat, the code once again compiles and functions properly. Any thoughts, insight, or inspiration are appreciated. -Wil -- William E.
