Can you post your JSP code?

[Chandra S Marappa]

The following is the error i am getting in the browser.

Server Error

The source of the jsp file nothing except html tags. infact the jsp file is a simple html file saved as jsp containing one line at the top as follows.

<%@ page language="java" import="java.lang.*;" %>


This is my first application in jboss, help me out in configuring the application, what are the settings that has to be done.


Thank you,

Chandru

And, have you tried removing that tag?
If it blows up with absolutly no JSP in it, it's probably safe to assume that JBoss is misconfigured.

[Chandra S Marappa]

i have not tried it, will try it today. if that does not work, what has to be done, ie. what is the configuration that has to be done in jboss so that it works correctly.

waiting for the same.

Well, I guess that would depend on whether or not JBoss was misconfigured and what configuration, exactly, is amiss.

My point is that, if a JSP with nothing but HTML code can't be compiled, then there is something wrong with the installation of the server.
It could also be that the application wasn't deployed correctly.

Nobody on a forum is going to be able to debug or fix this for you.
Look at your logs and see if there are any errors being generated.

[Ben Souther]

If it does turn out to be a misconfiguration, you might want to take the question to the JBoss forum on this site. The people who frequent this list are using all kinds of different servers. Many (myself included) have never touched JBoss.

Moved to the JBoss forum.

Am getting the same error for a simple jsp containing only html tags. Tried copying different versions of servlet.jar, but still no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
jj
