Servlet mapped JSPs fail (Jboss3.2.1/Jetty/win2k)

[klutus]

I have a very simple web, in this web I have mapped some URLs to servlets.

these servlets are JSPs


<servlet-name>web31</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>parser.jsp</jsp-file>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>web31</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

then jsp does this and that.......

this have worked well in Orion, now I'm migrating to Jboss/Jetty and I would like it work there as well :-)

Basically I'm using it to very simply handle all htm's equally and add some decorations around a htm page.

the parser jsp also slects format of these decorations depending on browser type.


ANY JSP run through a servlet mapping like the above, generate this error; all other JSP's work fine, including calling that very same parser.jsp directly

Jasper does not like the undefined context path.

Try <jsp-file>/parser.jsp</jsp-file>.

Adjust to deal accordingly with the location of the JSP in relation to the web-app context.

Thank you,

That solved the issue!
