If I take the same WAR file and copy it over to a Tomcat installation on an OpenVMS Alpha v7.3-1 system [running CSWS_JAVA v2.1, which is Tomcat v4.1.24], I get the following error when attempting to browse to the webapp:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception forwarding for name login: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java)
[snipped]
root cause
javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception forwarding for name login: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java)
at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java)
[snipped]
Both of these installations of Tomcat are using JDK v1.4.2.
My webapp's web.xml file specifies a welcome file named "index.jsp" and all that "index.jsp" does is use the "logic:forward" tag to forward to a login action. The "welcome.jsp" file is in the root folder of the webapp, while all of the other JSP files are in a subfolder under WEB-INF.
Why would a JSP fail to compile on the Tomcat implementation on OpenVMS but still compile properly for the Tomcat implementation on WinXP?
TIA,
