There *was* an outstanding bug where someone tried to cast a Vector to List and then to solve the org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent.getDependants() method signature was then downcasted to return Object (instead of the original List)
More info is available at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33594 I would suggest following up on the bug Thanks M- ********************************************************************* This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.

However after changing to Tomcat5.5 the Jsp Pre-Compilation fails and throws the following ERROR: [javac] /view/sarag-latest-cct-ccm/vob/ccm/Projects/car/jsp_files/MAMgrSearch_js p.java:16: org.apache.jsp.MAMgrSearch_jsp is not abstract and does not override abstract method getDependants() in org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent [javac] public final class MAMgrSearch_jsp extends com.cisco.ccm.car.userinterface.JSPReportBase [javac] ^ [javac] /view/sarag-latest-cct-ccm/vob/ccm/Projects/car/jsp_files/MAMgrSearch_js p.java:29: getDependants() in org.apache.jsp.MAMgrSearch_jsp cannot implement getDependants() in org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspSourceDependent; attempting to use incompatible return type [javac] found : java.lang.Object [javac] required: java.util.List [javac] public Object getDependants() { [javac] ^ [javac] Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. [javac] 100 errors It looks like the XXX_jsp.java files generated using JspC from jasper-compile.jar is generating getDependants() method with signature: List getDependants(); However the new jasper-runtime.jar expects a signature of the type: Object getDependants(); Jasper-compiler.jar & jasper-runtime.jar are included in the class path while compiling. Is this a know issue? If yes, is there a work around for the same. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks & Regards Sarath.G
