Ignore most of my last email.
Of course the jars in jetty/ext are symlinks. They are just synlinks to the wrong place.
You have:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jul 16 09:39 jasper-compiler.jar -> ../../tomcat4/common/lib/jasper-compiler.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jul 16 09:39 jasper-runtime.jar -> ../../tomcat4/common/lib/jasper-runtime.jar
when it should be
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jul 16 10:13 jasper-compiler.jar -> ../../tomcat4/lib/jasper-compiler.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 16 10:14 jasper-runtime.jar -> ../../tomcat4/lib/jasper-runtime.jar
Changing this starts the jasper servlets - but they now get org/w3c/dom/DOMError. Thus you also need to add the following symlinks to jetty/ext:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 16 10:19 xml-apis.jar -> ../../java/xml-apis.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 16 10:20 xmlParserAPIs.jar -> ../../java/xmlParserAPIs.jar
These should perhaps be to specific versions of these jars?
With those changes, it is now running the jetty demo fine.
However, I'm wondering if a jetty debian ome page would be a good thing. It could describe the setup and then have a link to the standard jetty demo. I'm happy to put such a page together if you like.
Actually - it may be better to only have a cut down demo, so that it can be removed simply by removing the webapps entry. At the moment, much of the demo is configured in the jetty.xml and will need that file to be edited to turn these demos off. Probably OK if we describe how to do that on a jetty-debian home page.
Finally- if you have an ant target that builds the deb packages, please send it to me and I'll put it in the standard Jetty package under jetty/extra/debian.
thanks again.
