Hi, More info for experts: =====================
I enabled debugging using log4j. My findings are as under and one of the experts might be able to point me in right direction. When I click on Execute link of Basic-Arithmetic JSP-EXAMPLES, I get the error as javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class org.apache.jsp.jsp2.el.basic_002darithmetic_jsp or a class it depends on The log4j debug shows this message in the log file. ========================================== INFO http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/jsp-examples ] - Marking servlet org.apache.jsp.jsp2.el.basic_002darithmetic_jsp as unavailable INFO http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/jsp-examples ] - Marking servlet org.apache.jsp.jsp2.el.basic_002darithmetic_jsp as unavailable ERROR http-8080-Processor25 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/jsp-examples ] - Error loading WebappClassLoader^M delegate: false^M repositories:^M /WEB-INF/classes/^M ----------> Parent Classloader:^M [EMAIL PROTECTED] org.apache.jsp.jsp2.el.basic_002darithmetic_jsp java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.jsp2.el.basic_002darithmetic_jsp =========================================== When I go to the jsp-examples/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/jsp/jsp2/el directory, the directory listing is as shown. -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 6944 Mar 04 19:23 functions_jsp.class -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 7145 Mar 04 19:23 basic_002dcompariso -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 7427 Mar 04 19:23 implicit_002dobject -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 6361 Mar 04 19:23 basic_002darithmeti So, somehow this file name is truncated. I do not know why or what options am I missing? I saw this issue widely reported but somehow no one shows an answer. This might be a simple fix but Tomcat is not known to me at all. I am looking for your help. I guess that there tow issues. 1. Class name getting truncated 2. SEVERE: Error filterStart error with message SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors -----Original Message----- From: Vikram [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 4:36 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: problem running servlets-examples I did a clean install on Tomcat 5.5.16, 5.5.15 and 5.028 on Aix 5.3 on Power 4 and Power 5 (64bit) running with IBM Java 5_64. In each one of this installation, I could not get servlets-examples working. I know little about Tomcat so please pardon my ignorance. This is the output from log file that it shows in each version.

Before posting this question, I googled it and found that many other people have also reported same but nobody gave a satisfactory answer as what might be causing this. One person said that he fixed it but did not give the solution. I know that this could be a little issue which I am not able to detect. Please remember that it was clean install and I have not even tried to run the webapp. Is it the problem related to the filterstart and after that it says that Context startup failed due to previous errors. I appreciate your help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
