Jsp compile exception in WL 8.1

[Manjunath B]

Hi all

i was trying to deploy the external war(jstl.war from www.manning.com) file in
my weblogic server .

I just copied the *.war file into C:\TestDrive\MyDomain\mydomain\application
directory and restarted the weblogic server.

i got following error.

Same file when i deployed in Tomcat4.1 was working fine i.e. copying the *.war
into <tomcathome>/webapps directory. I got index page without touching the code!

Is there any extra settings has to be done for running jsp's from war files in
WL?

THanks in advance

Here's my weblogic.xml file

<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN"

In this URL http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jsp/reference.html#57794 there's
option to use -webapp for jsp compiler. How to implement same in weblogic.xml
<jsp-descriptor> file?

Thanks

Please contact customer support sup...@bea.com and request a patch for
CR112789. AT_END tags do not work correctly in 81sp1

I experience exactly the same error in WL 6.1 SP 5 using the c:import tag from
the jstl (impl apache 1.0.3). I Noticed this testing the upgrade of WL 6.1 SP3
-> WL 6.1 SP 5, so assume this got introduced either in SP4 or SP5. Does patch
CR112789 also solve this problem on 6.1 SP5?

Regards,
EJ

Yes, you can contact support and ask for a patch for 61sp5.

Hi,

I have got the same compilation error in JSP while upgrading to Weblogic 8.1sp1

Can anybody tell me if the patch CR112789 helped resolve the problem.
I have requested the same from bea support but havent received it yet.

Can anyone throw light on why this patch is not included with 8.1 sp1. Will be
a part of sp2?

Thanks and regds
