Hi Chris, Thanks for your help, I had some days off - that's why my answer is a bit late.

Compiling isn't working since the server was setup (by someone else). I'll try cleaning the 'work' directories. Since it's a (very) productive server I don't have too many service windows. That's why I tried to reproduce the problem on the test server but did not succeed yet. And on both servers are at least two applications and both won't compile on the productive machine. And yes, we did upgrade from RHEL5.5 to RHEL5.6 and the tomcat packages were upgrade. But since compiling did'nt work before I'm not sure what the impact of this update is. Getting rid of the 'work' directory is probably my best bet right now. > Try stopping Tomcat, removing Tomcat's "work" directory, and then > re-starting.

Well, I haven't done any precompilation yet. I was just wondering if that might help pin-down the problem. Unfortunately I'm not a developer but a server admin and have no clue how a build.xml should look like that ca 'simulate' a Tomcat/Jasper precompiling. > Also, your version of Tomcat is very old.

The version we use is the stock Tomcat for RHEL5. For now I'm stuck with that version.

This is an internal API that is subject to change, and might have changed during an upgrade that left files in your "work" directory. Try stopping Tomcat, removing Tomcat's "work" directory, and then re-starting. Your JSPs should re-compile and work fine after that. If you are precompiling your JSPs, you'll need to re-precompile your JSPs with your current Tomcat version. Also, your version of Tomcat is very old. If you are using a package-managed version of Tomcat, you may be stuck with an ancient version. Consider using the canonical Apache version to stay up-to-date.
