I've used 4.1.x and 4.0.x with JDK1.4 and JDK 1.4.1 and never had this problem.
One thing you might want to check on windows is which JRE you are using. Sun install Java in two places, c:\j2sdk1.4.1 and c:\winnt\java (or something similar). By default the JRE is set in the registry to be c:\winnt\java and java.exe is copied to c:\winnt\system32. So unless you either choose not to install the JRE, or you delete java.exe from c:\winnt\system32 when you run java, the JRE picked up is the one installed into c:\winnt and this one doesn't have a tools.jar. Delete java.exe from c:\winnt\system32, set java_home to c:\j2sdk1.4.1 and add c:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin to your path, then try it again Kevin Jones Developmentor www.develop.com > -----Original Message----- > From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Costin Manolache > Sent: 07 January 2003 00:53 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Unable to compile class for JSP > > > Jeanfrancois Arcand wrote: > > > Hum...I don't have any problems under win2k using Sun JDK > 1.4.1 (and I > > don't remember seeing that problem with 1.4).
