javax.servlet.http not found when running template web clien

[mjah]

I've installed JBoss 3 on a Windows XP machine and have been able to sucessfully build and run the template application against both the default HSQL database and an Oracle 9i database.

Now I'm trying to build and run the same application against the installation on a Linux (RedHat) server (starting with the default database). The build works, but when I attempt to run the web client, the browser gets the following:

tmp/Jetty__8180___web-client/index$jsp.java:7: Package javax.servlet.http not found in import. import javax.servlet.http.*; ^ /tmp/Jetty__8180___web-client/index$jsp.java:8: Package javax.servlet.jsp not found in import. import javax.servlet.jsp.*; ^ /tmp/Jetty__8180___web-client/index$jsp.java:9: Package org.apache.jasper.runtime not found in import. import org.apache.jasper.runtime.*; ^ /tmp/Jetty__8180___web-client/index$jsp.java:12: Superclass org.apache.jsp.HttpJspBase of class org.apache.jsp.index$jsp not found. public class index$jsp extends HttpJspBase { ^ 5 errors Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2002 21:57:27 GMT Server: Jetty/RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR (Linux 2.4.7-10 x86) Servlet-Engine: Jetty/RELEASE_MAJOR_MINOR (Servlet 2.3; JSP 1.2; java 1.3.0) Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 2679

RequestURI=/web-client/

I'm assuming there is some sort of a configuration problem in the installation, as shouldn't the 'javax.servlet.http' import be satisfied by the javax.servlet.jar file?


Thanks in advance... Maury.

This is usually caused by jars in the classpath
or jre/lib/ext

Thanks. That seems to have been the problem. After a shutdown of the server and then being careful to do a clean restart, the template application now works (now to search and see if the errors reported in the startup log are serious -- but that's another post :-).

Thanks again... Maury.
