JSF application with tomcat and gcj

[Michael Bauschert]

Hi,

i run a jsf application with tomcat 5.5.23 under Fedora rawhide.

If it comes to compiling the JSPs i get the following errors:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to compile class for JSP: 

An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
The type java.io.Writer cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required
.class files
1: <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
2: <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
3:
4: <f:view>


An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /index.jsp

2: <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>

... there are many more such errors - for every line of the JSP


with the following stacktrace within the localhost*.log

The same version of the JSP-App is running perfectly fine under a windows tomcat.

The jars in the WEB-INF/lib are:

Any ideas ?

This kind of error usually occurs when there is some problem with the
bootclasspath of ecj (the bytecode compiler part of Eclipse -- JDT
Core).  I believe tomcat -- or jasper .. I'm really not familiar with
this stuff -- uses ecj as well so I suspect a problem there.

Please file a bug against rawhide tomcat5. Also, is it possible for you
to produce a simple test case? It would be very valuable if you could...
Thanks,
