I am currently working on a web application that uses Tomcat 4.1.27 and JDK
1.4.2_03.
The same piece of code now needs to be supported on Tomcat 3.3.1 and JDK
1.4.2_08. I managed to get the classes, jsps coompile and built by modifying
the ant script. In fact even the application runs perfect and the
functionalities are working as expected. Although, all is not good as it seems
so. In the backend, the tomcat - startup windows isn't quite happy with the
changes. I repeatedly get the following error and I can make out very little
from it.
I can think of possible cause as this code in my jsp but not really sure:
....
<jsp:include page="weblmpagetop.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="disable-session-validation" value="true" />
<jsp:param name="body-title-text" value="<%= title %>" />
<jsp:param name="body-location-text" value="<%= location %>" />
</jsp:include>
....
Exception thrown in tomcat-start up window is below:
