Error when loading jmx-console

[eldiosyeldiablo]

I have installed jboss-3.2.3 on my Windows XP Pro box today and when I try to goto the jmx-console page after I start the service.

I am running the latest J2SE SDK (1.4.2). No changes have been done to the jboss install. I have added a few environment variables (JAVA_HOME, JBOSS_HOME, etc)

Here is the error that the browser returns...

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

Thank you,

I am trying to do the Duke's Bank Application and that is why I am posting this question here.
Should I "move" this question to the general JBoss support forum?

Thx,
David

Have you tried typing "An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null" into Google? Or, in fact, doing any research at all?

Why yes Mr. Smartass I have search the JBoss documentation and google searches.
Thank you for your pointless reply.

Just b/c the solution is obvious to you do not assume that a newbie to the J2EE arena is going to know where the problem is. Expecially when this newbie is following a TUTORIAL!!!

Mr Smartass? Flattery indeed.

The solution was not at all obvious to me. I think the error message is very misleading. My point was simply this:

You posted a message on the forum. The only reply you had in 12 hours was from me. When I typed "An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null" (with the quotes) into Google, the first hit answered the question. This took a mere 8 seconds of my life, when you have now waited 16 hours for an answer in the forum.

[eldiosyeldiablo]

Ok Danny I found it. Using the quotes in google was required to get the same results that you were getting.

There were two problems:
1. Windows was not taking my PATH setting unless I put the change either on the command line or on the System Varaibles input area.
2. JBoss was installed in c:\Program Files\jboss-3.2.3

Thx,
David

PS I hate windows :P
