Problems with default install of JBoss-3.0.3_Tomcat-4.1.12.z

[kmatthews812]

I just d/ld JBoss-3.0.3_Tomcat-4.1.12.zip today and unpacked it. Then I ran the \bin\run.bat file everything started with no problems.

However, now, when I got to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ I get the following exception:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null


When I go to server.log file I see this:

So it seems that an extra / character is being added to the path and is messing things up. Any clue how to fix this?

I am running windows 2000 and other than unpacking and running the run.bat script, I have not changed anything.

Thanks,

Do you have the JAVA_HOME environment variable set? It should point to the local installation of the JDK, e.g.

set JAVA_HOME=d:\j2sdk1.4.1

This is necessary for run.bat to be able to locate and add tools.jar to the classpath. Tools.jar contains the implementation of javac, used by the Jasper JSP compiler.

That did the trick! Thanks.
