JSP deployment error running

[sasconsul]

Folks,

I am sure this is simple, but I have not figured it out yet. I think the javac line passed on to WinXP Home too long at 1010 characters. How should I setup the classpath so that it can be passed via the execute call?

Here is the core error:
===

The classpath is definitely too long. Try setting Jasper to compile the JSP internally - that is not to fork. You will need to add it to server/default/deploy/jbossweb-jetty.sar/webdefault.xml for Jetty or server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/web.xml for Tomcat. This applies to the Jasper section of the aforementioned configuration files.


<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<!-- add this -->
<init-param>
<param-name>fork</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>

This should stop the system having to pass the classpath externally, which is where the problem is occurring. The drawback is that there is a chance of a crash if there is a memory leak in javac. Shouldn't be the case for Java JDK 1.4.2 but YMMV.

Hope it helps.
