Jasper5 And Fedora Core 6, build-classpath problems
by stephen.hindmarch＠bt.com
This post was originally sent to tomcat users list but I was told it was
a packaging problem and not in scope for tomcat hence I should redirect
it to a Fedora list. I trust I am picking the right lists here.
I am trying to use Jasper on Fedora Core 6 to precompile some of my jsp
but I come across the following classpath builder errors when trying run
the jasper script:-
$ /usr/bin/jasper5.sh
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jasper-compiler Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jasper-runtime Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find jsp-2.0-api Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Could not find servlet-2.4-api Java
extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Some specified jars were not found
Usage: /usr/bin/jasper5.sh ( jspc )
Commands:
jspc - Run the offline JSP compiler
I looked in the script to see what jar files the classpath builder
needed and compared that to similar looking jar files in /usr/share/java
By creating links to the following files I get rid of the errors
$ su -
# cd /usr/share/java
# ln -s jasper5-compiler.jar jasper-compiler.jar
# ln -s jasper5-runtime.jar jasper-runtime.jar
# ln -s tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api.jar jsp-2.0-api.jar
# ln -s tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api.jar servlet-2.4-api.jar
# exit
$ /usr/bin/jasper5.sh
Usage: /usr/bin/jasper5.sh ( jspc )
Commands:
jspc - Run the offline JSP compiler
So what I am wondering is have I missed off installing a compatibility
package or is there a mistake in the jasper package that should either
create these links or change the names required in the script?
For reference the packages concerned are
tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.17-6jpp.2
tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.17-6jpp.2
tomcat5-jasper-5.5.17-6jpp.2
