[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] - Re: Unable to pre-compile JSP using ANT task with JBoss 4.2.

That was a pretty good suggestion; I did add those jars but the result was the same. I actually solved my problem; it turned out that our TLD files had <DOCTYPE...> headers in them; and the XML parser didn't like that at all. I removed the <DOCTYPE...> line and the task executed successfully (note that some of the TLD files had schema information instead of a DOCTYPE, but that seems to fine... For anybody having the same problem, here is my final pre-compiling task: | <path id="cp.jasper2"> | <pathelement location="${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/jboss-web.deployer/jbossweb.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/../../../lib/jboss-common.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/../../../lib/commons-logging.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/eclipse/javaee.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/../../../lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/../../../lib/endorsed/xalan.jar" /> | <pathelement location="${deploy.dir}/../../../lib/endorsed/serializer.jar" /> | | <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/web" /> | <pathelement path="${registry.build.dir}/classes" /> | <path refid="cp.lib"/> | </path> | | <target name="jspc" description="Pre-compile are JSP files." depends="copy-metadata, compile" if="jsp.precompile"> | <echo message="Compiling JSPs..." /> | | <taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC" name="jasper2" classpathref="cp.jasper2" /> | | <!-- this will generate the java files for each JSP file --> | <jasper2 | compile="false" | validateXml="false" | uriroot="${build.war.files.dir}" | webXmlFragment="${registry.build.dir}/generated_web.xml" | package="${package.web}" | outputDir="${registry.build.dir}/jsp-src" /> | | <!-- compile the java files generated in the previous step --> | <javac | srcdir="${registry.build.dir}/jsp-src" | destdir="${registry.build.dir}/classes" | listfiles="${compile.listfiles}" | failonerror="${compile.failonerror}" | debug="${compile.debug}" | debuglevel="${compile.debuglevel}" | optimize="${compile.optimize}" | deprecation="${compile.deprecation}" | classpathref="cp.jasper2" /> | </target> | Thanks for the help!
