The servlets work, but for any of the jsp examples I get: Error: 500 Location: /examples/jsp/dates/date.jsp Internal Servlet Error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP at java.lang.Throwable.(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Exception.(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.ServletException.(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.JasperException.(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.loadJSP(Compiled Code) ... [more similar such messages] ... at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code) Root cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown argument at java.lang.Throwable.(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Exception.(Compiled Code) ... etc. ... I found something similar in the FAQ-o-matic collection at the jakarta web site indicating a classpath problem, but since this has somewhat different error messages, and since I know next to nothing about Java and Java servers (just "plain vanilla" Apache, and Netscape, and shell or Perl CGI programming), I'm not sure what needs to be done. I'm trying to set this up simply and quickly for an extremely urgent, high-visibility, corporate-wide project for relatively experienced Java developers to utiilize. If I can't get it to where they can try it out quickly, then their preference for iPlanet (Netscape Enterprise server) will prevail...
