Make sure that your JAVA_HOME evironment variable is properly set. From the command line type:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac If you get a "Program not found" error, then it's not set right. Any time that servlets work but JSPs don't, start by making sure that Tomcat: A) Can find the java compiler B) Has write permissions for the "work" directory.
