Deployment on Tomcat 6 error: Unable to compile class for JSP

[Wolfgang Sippach]

Dear Java Friends,

during the last days, I tried to deploy a simple programme with JSP and "Beans" (with SQL access) on a Tomcat6 (Jakarta Version, without Apache) on an external Server.

Same Programme runs fine in my eclipse environment, Eclipse Indigo with BIRT function and Tomcat7. No Problems here.

On the external server Tomcat6, it shows the first page, JSP without a bean, but not the second, a JSP with Bean.

The error msg is:
Unable to compile class for JSP: An error occurred at line: 41 in the jsp file: /TemplateSQL/sqlInsert.jsp sqlCourseBean cannot be resolved to a type 38: String ausgabe1=""; 39: 40: 41: sqlCourseBean c1 = new sqlCourseBean()


The war-file is not recognized on the server, but if I unzip the war-file from my client, it shows at least the first page.

The tree structure is like in a text book:

ROOT/TemplateSQL/sqlInsert.jsp

ROOT/TemplateSQL/WEB-INF/classes/sqlCourseBean.class
and
ROOT/TemplateSQL/WEB-INF/classes/sqluniversal/sqlCourseBean.class

ROOT/TemplateSQL/WEB-INF/web.xml
ROOT/TemplateSQL/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF


The header lines of this above files looks like:

ROOT/TemplateSQL/sqlInsert.jsp

<%@ page language="java" 
	contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
    import="sqluniversal.*" %>
   
    <%@ include file="sqlAccessData.jsp" %>
      
    <%
 
....

	sqlCourseBean c1 = new sqlCourseBean();
    java.util.Vector<sqlCourse> sqlCourseVector =  c1.getSQLCourse();
   
   

ROOT/TemplateSQL/WEB-INF/classes/sqlCourseBean.class
and
ROOT/TemplateSQL/WEB-INF/classes/sqluniversal/sqlCourseBean.class

package sqluniversal;

import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;

public class sqlCourseBean {
	
	private Vector<sqlCourse> kv= new Vector<sqlCourse>(1000,1000);
	
	public Vector<sqlCourse> getSQLCourse(){
		
		try{
		      ....
	              String treiber = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";

I tried different solutions with different possibilities, but nothings worked out?

Why?

Why do you have 2 java files with the same name. Which one are you trying to refer on your jsp page?

[Wolfgang Sippach]

It should refer to the one in folder sqluniversal, but I found the other one too. Does not gave any sense to me

Hello,

I came also today across a lot of pages, who are explaining deployment and Ant for Eclipse. But I still seem to miss a good sample to find out, how I can implement all the classpath, variables, and s on on the server site (Tomcat 6) instead of my eclipse environment, best would be, if it would be explained with sceenshots.

Any Idea about a link, especially for ANT and the parameters, that there are two different ANT under build.xml -> run as -> ANT FILE.... one for the local environment in eclipse, and one for the server site?
