Kinda new posting up questions here so bear with me. I had to install a XP VM recently in order to run a program that required use of an Oracle 10g client. I setup my tomcat server and when I went through the directory and started the .jsp file, I got this error
2011-02-22 09:13:01,291 ERROR (org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler:394) - Javac exception
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK
Weird thing is I set my JAVA_HOME variable in my VM to ‘C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24;’ and my PATH variable to ‘%JAVA_HOME%\bin;’.
It says that its a jasper-complier error… I made sure to add several TOMCAT_HOME variables in my eclipse library path that looked at the jasper-compiler,jasper-runtime,jsp-api.jar, and servlet-api.jar located in my tomcat server folder.
I also followed these instructions here, that state to add the jdk\bin’s tools.jar to Eclipse’s Ant runtime global entries
Any help appreciated, I’m stumped.
Hey I figured it out, just made sure you add to your JDK to your PATH variable (ie. java\jdk…\bin) and I also added it to my tomcat\lib folder and added it to my projects library as another variable.
