Compilation problem

pascalpt Feb 18, 2003 12:00 PM

I'm seeing this recurring problem with Tomcat, it started happening a few versions ago. It happens with both javac and jikes on both Windows and Linux. (jdk version is 1.4.1)

What happens is that the jsp recompilation will fail and throw the attached exception. If I hit reload (sometimes a few times), it will eventually recompile the page.

It doesn't seem to happen if I don't set the
"DeleteWorkDirs" parameter to false.

Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks

Pascal

and now for the exception:

1. Re: Compilation problem

pascalpt Mar 3, 2003 7:50 PM (in response to pascalpt)

It turns out that the exception happens no matter which value I give to the DeleteWorkDirs attribute.

I can't believe I'm the only one seeing this. Can anybody help me understand what's going on? Everything works fine and at some point it will start to happen consistently every time a jsp is compiled. Everything seems to work fine with jetty though.

Thanks
