Hello Bill- I would definitely post this to ant-users [EMAIL PROTECTED] to reference the jspc Ant task http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/jspc.html which states you can use the compiler="NameOfCompilerClass" to specify classname of the Jsp compiler Adapter you desire (defaults to jasper)

No 'execute()' method on jspc Hi, I'm trying to build tomcat 5.5.028 from source. It fails on the 'build-webapps-precompile' due to a jsp task. I get this error: build-webapps-precompile: No public execute() in class org.apache.jasper.JspC It looks like the build-process compiles "org.apache.jasper.JspC". And the source code includes this method: public void execute() throws JasperException { I thought the problem lay in duplicate versions of this class in my classpath. I have the same problem, however, when I remove "ant-nodeps.jar" from my ${ANT_HOME}/lib. No other jars in the ANT classpath include "org.apache.jasper.Jspc". Unfortunately ANT doesn't tell me where it found "JspC" so I can verify whether or not it "found" the right class. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill m
