Thanks for your help, and I didn't mean to raise anyone's ire. I did read
the docs, but started to loose confidence when it was not working.
The part of the documentation that is missing is the specification of the
"param-value". Is this param-value supposed to be a java class, an
executable, or something else?
I had:
<param-value>com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler</param-value>
You didn't seems to have an issue with this parameter being a class, so I am
going on the assumption that this is correct. So, now maybe my problem is
my setup of the classpath. I was thinking that just putting the tools.jar
in the lib directory would be sufficient for a test. This did not work. I
then added it manually to the CLASSPATH variable in the setclasspath.sh to
ensure it is set. Yet, I still get a:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Java compiler available
org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.createCompiler(JspCompilationContext
.java:229)
One of my servlets prints out the classpath, and it shows :
java.class.path=/opt/OCIEsys/tomcat/DEV_04_07/bin/java/lib/tools/jar::/ocie/
tests/OCIEsys/to
mcat/DEV_04_07/bin/bootstrap.jar:/ocie/tests/OCIEsys/tomcat/DEV_04_07/bin/co
mmons-logging-api.jar
Thanks again,
Mark

Actually, the docs say this:
"The servlet which implements Jasper is configured using init parameters in
your global $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml.
"* compiler - Which compiler Ant should use to compile JSP pages. See the
Ant documentation for more information. If the value is not set, then the
default Eclipse JDT Java compiler will be used instead of using Ant. No
default value."
> This seems to be controlled by settings in the web.xml.
As explicitly stated in the doc.
> <param-value>com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler</param-value>
[Note for Mark T:]
If you're running on Windows, there's a bug in the Tomcat 6.0.13
setclasspath.bat script which checks for tools.jar in the wrong place.
You'll need to include the tools.jar location explicitly in your CLASSPATH
environment variable. (The problem does not exist in the .sh
version.)
