sounds like you're either missing a jar file or have it in the wrong location.

I've also been browsing google and java forums and can't seem to find any solution. I'm running Tomcat 6, and trying to show an simple Hello World JSP page. <html><body>Hello world !!</body></html> But it keeps giving me an 404 error with the message: HTTP Status 404 - Servlet jsp is not available type Status report message Servlet jsp is not available description The requested resource (Servlet jsp is not available) is not available. If I rename the hello.jsp to hello.html it works fine. And a servlet compiled from a helloworld.java works fine. After some testing it seems that no jsp-pages works. In the logs it says that the server started okey, but in the localhost log it says: Jan 10, 2008 2:13:05 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup SEVERE: Servlet /db threw load() exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet I use these paths: Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ CurrentJDK/Home Please help, any hints, link are most welcome! ..fredik -- Cloud Nine Fredrik Bonander Frontend Developer - the infinite power of the creative mind - Linnégatan 89 E Box 10304 100 55 Stockholm Sweden Tel: +46 (0) 8 - 663 44 00 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.cloudnine.se --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
