Craig,
Thanks for the info. Can you elaborate on the differences in the global
class loading architectures? Seems like that is my problem.
I'm getting the following error. The
class it is complaining about is present in the WEB-INF/classes folder, but
I don't understand why it is looking for it in the package org.apache.jsp.
The same WAR file works without any problem on Tomcat-3.2.3.
***************************************
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occured between lines: 23 and 40 in the jsp file: /main2.jsp
Generated servlet error:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\work\localhost\SoftSyncWeb\main2$jsp.java:14: Class
org.apache.jsp.VersionTreeNode not found.
private String printNode (VersionTreeNode vtn, String indentation,
String reqURI)
