Error with Jboss 3.2.2.RC4 jetty and JDK 1.4.2_01

[cherold]

When trying to run JBoss 3.2.2.RC4 with JDK 1.4.2_01 I'm getting the warning:
"JSP compilation requires $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar on your JBOSS_CLASSPATH"
at startup.
JSP compilation is impossible after this.

I checked the source and saw the following check:
findResourceInJar("com/sun/tools/javac/v8/resources/javac.properties")

In the JDK 1.4.2_01 there is no such file.
In former versions (JDK 1.4.1 and 1.3.1) this file exist.

I don't know if this is a feature or bug from JDK.
But perhaps it would be better to test other file for checking tools.jar.

What is the source file, something from the Jetty package to from JBoss package?

sorry for the late response..

This is the out I got in ser jboss server.log:
WARN [org.jboss.jbossweb] JSP compilation requires $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar on your JBOSS_CLASSPATH

So, the source of this message is class Jetty.class in org.jboss.jetty.jar in the following deployment:jbossweb-jetty.sar.

I checked the souce by downloading the actual source-Tar and had also a look in the CVS:

here the locationes:
Line: 82-83
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jboss/contrib/jetty/src/main/org/jboss/jetty/Jetty.java
and also in
jboss-3.2.2RC4-src\jetty\src\main\org\jboss\jetty\Jetty.java


// check support for JSP compilation...
if (findResourceInJar("com/sun/tools/javac/v8/resources/javac.properties")==null)
_log.warn("JSP compilation requires $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar on your JBOSS_CLASSPATH");


In the JDK 1.4.2_01 tools.jar the property "javac.properties" only exist in "sun.tools.javac.resources"
and not in "com/sun/tools/javac/v8/resources/" as in former versions.

hope this could help you
