I am running Tomcat 3.2.3 on NT/IIS with the Jikes compiler, and noticed if the server is reset (i.e. power glitch) without a normal shutdown, Tomcat comes back up non-operational. The symptoms are that the JSPs can't be accessed until the class files from the previous run are deleted from the work directory. The log I get is: 2001-07-26 11:33:06 - Ctx( /admin ): JasperException: R( /admin + /contextAdmin/contextAdmin.jsp + null) Unable to compile class for JSP The beginning of the root cause trace is: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ClassName.processClassData(ClassName.java:89) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ClassName.getClassName(ClassName.java:191) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspCompiler.getRealClassName(JspCompiler.java:136 ) I was concerned it might be something to do with Jikes, but there is no problem when I manually recompile the .java source that Tomcat creates but can't compile. I can fix this with a startup script that deletes the class files, but I assume if this is a real problem someone would have logged it at least (and I don't like patchy solutions!) I couldn't find any discussion on this problem in the archives or the web, except for the possibly related discussion at: http://www.javaclue.org/tomcat/patch32b6/letspatch.html#step5 I was surprised to see that this patch (against 3.2.1) hadn't been applied to 3.2.3, but it didn't work for me anyway. Does any have any ideas? ...Ken. --- Ken Grigg AmikaNow! Corporation mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
