When I try to use jspc from the command line to compile a JSP page that uses JSTL (1.0.1), I get a NullPointerException. Here's the setup (apologies if my email client hoses long lines): JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3 CATALINA_HOME=D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.8 JASPER_HOME=D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.8 Here's how jspc gets invoked and the resulting error: D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.8\webapps\jspcTest>%JASPER_HOME%\bin\jspc -v4 -d WEB-INF\src\jspc -webinc WEB-INF\jspc-web.xml -uriroot . -webapp . 2002-08-09 09:07:44 - ERROR-the file '\index.jsp' generated the following general exception: java.lang.NullPointerException error:null Here's index.jsp: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %> <html> <head><title>JSPC Test</title></head> <body><h1>Welcome to the JSPC test page</h1></body> </html> Here's web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> The only other components of the app are the JAR files for JSTL that are installed in WEB-INF\lib. Everything works fine running as an app under 4.1.8. Any ideas about what's going on? Also, does the "v" flag really do anything? I can't seem to get any verbose output no matter what it's set to.
