Hello.
I've recently installed Tomcat 5.0.25 on my Mac OS X (10.4), and have
used it successfully with servlets (using Java 1.5).
I am currently trying to run a simple JSP example, but get the
following error message:
No Java compiler was found to compile the generated source for the JSP.
This can usually be solved by copying manually $JAVA_HOME/lib/
tools.jar from the JDK
to the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server, followed by a
Tomcat restart.
Upon searching the web (and my OS) it appears that OS X does not
include a tools.jar file, as all classes are in the classes.jar file.
I have tried commenting out the references to the tools.jar from the
catalina.xml file and the setclasspath.sh file, and have even tried
renaming a copy of the classes file to tools.jar, and putting it in
the common/lib directory - all to no avail.
Is there a workaround for this issue? (Incidentally, I found no
references to OS X or tools.jar on the Apache site).
Thanks in advance for your help,
Rhodri
