jspcompiler resolvefile NullPointerException jboss-3.0.3_tom

[r_clegg1]

When an app is re-deployed in the above version of JB/Tomcat, the app may abend when re-entered on the browser, (dump below). It's because run.bat gives a relative path for run.jar in the classpath. For some reason tomcat 4.1.12 cant find it when it does a javac jsp
compile. To get round it, change run.bat so that
DIRNAME is set to %JBOSS_HOME%\bin and remove all other
DIRNAME set commands. This will give run.jar an absolute path for Tomcat to use and stop the problems when the classpath is set later in the script.
