Tomcat jsp issue

[Menta2K]

First i wont to say that i am not a tomcat expert and maybe i am doing something wrong. Here is the case :

I have a class located in
/home/user/public_html/WEB-INF/classes/testlib/MyString.class

I have a jsp page located in document root directory (/home/user/public_html/)
with that content
<%@ page language="java" import="testlib.*"%>
<%
out.print("User1"+MyString.doString("Test String"));
%>
and its working like a charm

I have same file in directory /home/user/public_html/t1/ with the same content.

but i got that error
Java FileName:/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/work/Catalina/domain.com/t1//org/apache/jsp/test2_jsp.java

An error occurred at line: 3 in the jsp file: /test2.jsp
MyString cannot be resolved
1: <%@ page language="java" import="testlib.*"%>
2: <%
3: out.print("User1"+MyString.doString("Test String"));
4: %>
Looks like if the jsp is located outside of the document root import tag did not work properly.

Any one with same issue ? or any ideas what can be wrong ?

Are both JSPs being called in the same context. Provide the URL for each.

[Menta2K]

The working one is called from http://www.domain-name.tld/test2.jsp
The not working is called http://www.domain-name.tld/t1/test2.jsp

[appservermgr]

OK. So the domains in the URL are the same.
Is there a WEB-INF directory under ./t1

[Menta2K]

No i have web inf only under main document root
/home/user/public_html/WEB-INF/
should i have WEB-INF in t1 subdirectory ?
if i should should y make a copy of all my classes inside /home/user/public_html/WEB-INF/ to
/home/user/public_html/t1/WEB-INF/

Because i dont know how tomcat works internally maybe i ask very stupid questions...

I really appreciate your help appservermgr

[appservermgr]

Hi Menta2k,

Do not add a WEB-INF under t1. There should only be 1 WEB-INF per application
context.

Try restarting Tomcat and see if the error goes away.

[Menta2K]

Unfortunately restart of the tomcat server did not help.
here is exact urls and what i mean.
Java class
http://server-lab.net/WEB-INF/classe...elloWorld.java
(http://server-lab.net/WEB-INF/classe...lloWorld.class)

Working URL:
http://server-lab.net/test.jsp

Error:
http://server-lab.net/t1/test.jsp

Is it possible to be a bug in tomcat version ?

[appservermgr]

Is it possible to be a bug in tomcat version ?

Quite possible as most 3rd party packages of Tomcat are susceptible to
problems. I personally recommend using unaltered Tomcat versions directly from the Apache site.
I presume the Tomcat installation is from cPanel?
That said did you add any thing to the CLASSPATH or made any changes?
Also is there a Context in the server.xml with the name "t1".

Try testing the jsp under a different name (e.g. test2.jsp) under t1 and see what happens.

It seems there is a bug somewhere or may be some misconfiguration, this is what I am getting:

HTTP Status 500 -

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.25 logs.

whereas the index.jsp is working fine at http://www.sakariya.com

The developer says, it is not compiling JSP pages.

Any idea where it is going wrong?
