I did some more testing with adding additional JSPs to my test webapp.
Here's what I have
/index.jsp /login.jsp /success.jsp /Form/page01.jsp /WEB-INF/form/page02.jsp /WEB-INF/page03.jsp
I have "index.jsp" set up as my welcome page. It uses the tag "logic:redirect" to redirect the browser to the action named "login" which uses "login.jsp" as its input form. After the "login" action completes, it forwards to an action named "success" which displays "success.jsp". The "success.jsp" page has 3 submit buttons on it, one each for "page01.jsp", "page02.jsp" and "page03.jsp". The "success" action has 3 forwards defined for it so that any of those 3 pages can be forwarded to depending on which one of the submit buttons is clicked in the browser.
Testing has shown that *any* JSP file located within "WEB-INF" or in any subfolder under "WEB-INF" cannot be compiled by Jasper when the webapp is deployed on my OpenVMS system. If I deploy the app to WinXP or NetWare and run it on the Tomcat implementations on those systems there is no problem getting all of the JSPs to compile as they are being accessed.
I've reviewed the "conf/server.xml" and "conf/catalina.policy" files on the OpenVMS Tomcat implementation and they are identical to the files on my WinXP system.
What other configuration files do I need to review to rule out a configuration error that could cause this problem?
Hmm, I'm getting a half relevent memory flash here. Weblogic took some time to catch on to the fact that JSPs could be under WEB-INF even though the client could not directly get them from there, I think it was not explicit in the JSP spec in the very earliest of days. I don't know the history of the OpenVMS port of tomcat, but there's a chance that it's using some unusual way of opening the JSPs, perhaps using the same mechanism that clients use, and getting fouled up here. I think I would have a peruse of the tomcat source if you can get it for your port, see if there's anything helpful in there. I know it's not the most enjoyable of tasks wading through a ton of code you don't know (I'm assuming you don't), but I've been watching this thread for about a week now, perhaps it's time.
Good luck.
