JSP 1.0 compilation erros using WAS 3.02

[Eric Tietz]

After upgrading from WebSphere Application Server V3.0 to V3.02, support for
compiling JSP 1.0 scripts seems to have been broken. JSP 0.91 support wtill
works fine. I've found a workaround by extracting jsp10.jar and
ibmwebas.jar to the X:\WebSphere\AppServer\classes directory. Is there a
better solution, and has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Following is the kind of dump you get without the workaroudn mentionned
above:

Eric,
In x:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\admin.config, I have x:/WebSphere/AppServer/lib/jsp10.jar in
com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath. The ibmwebas.jar is also in there.

WAS 3.0 was working fine for me ... I upgraded to WAS 3.0.2 and observed the same problems
with JSP 1.0 compliation. The required jar files were no longer in the admin.config classpath
(as you indicated they should be). I suspect the upgraded wiped out the information ...
perhaps a problem with the length of the record ... please investigate ...

After adding the jar files back on, the compilation works fine

[Pat McCarthy]

Agreed - same problem here - 3.0->3.02 and JSP compile (and what else I wonder) is gone....

I added the jsp10.jar to my classpath - but will probably look at the above techniques instead...
