I have a slight problem with my off line tomcat5.5 web development servlet engine .Firstly I must mention that all the jsp files etc that DON'T WORK ofline DO WORK on my web site.

tomcat5.5 was installed on "Simply Mepis" a debian based linux system. There is no sudo apt-get install tomcat5.5 in Mepis, so I had to log in as root , and then # apt-get install sun-java5-jdk

# apt-get install tomcat5.5

i think that maybe part of the problem , tomcat5.5 downloaded as root ?


Simple jsp files work, such as those having something like
<jsp:include page="newtop.jsp" />

but jsp files that reference a taglib jar file don't work.
such as : <%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/lib/navtag.jar" prefix="Set" %> on my offline, ( but DO WORK on web site).

I think its either my system can not see the jar files in the lib directory at:

/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib or that its a permission thing.
briefly let me explain the set up:



after installation the default index.jsp was in : var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ROOT

what I did is add my own jsp files ,html ,.css to ROOT folder. I put jar files in WEB-INF/lib . I made ROOT chown -R user
and chmod -R 777 for user , and I simply amended the web.xml inside WEB-INF referencing the taglibs so:

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/taglib191.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

I have used the same web.xml on the web and it works.

as mentioned the only jsp NOT working on my off line tomcat5.5 web development are referencing a taglib. I am not sure if its about permissions
now, since i logged back in as a session as "root" at http://localhost:8180/index.jsp worked , plus all jsp's except those referencing taglib.

The other things is I can not seems to actually see whats in classpath or get much info out of system .

echo $CLASSPATH gives nothing all i have out of the system is:

find / -name *tools.jar* gave this output :
/usr/share/java/mx4j-tools.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.17/lib/tools.jar

java -version gave this output
java version "1.5.0_17"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

at $ env gives:
