RE: install problem - JspServlet doesn't initialize properly

Title: RE: install problem - JspServlet doesn't initialize properly
I ran into similar problems when I first started using gnujsp. I found that I had to put the servlets parameters in the default init arguments list. I have not tried to remove this lately since it was working in the past.
 
servlets.default.initArgs=checkclass=true,scratchdir=/jsptemp,compiler=builtin-javac -classpath %classpath%;%scratchdir% -d %scratchdir% -deprecation %source%,debug=true
 
Also, you might want to specify the servlet to be loaded at startup.
 
servlet.gnujsp.code=org.gjt.jsp.JspServlet
servlets.startup=gnujsp

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, it still gives the same error.

This is what my jspzone.properties file now has:

servlet.gnujsp.code=org.gjt.jsp.JspServlet
servlet.gnujsp.initArgs=scratchdir=d:\jsptest,checkclass=true,debug=true,compiler=builtin-javac -classpath %classpath%;d:\jsptest;d:\program files\gnujsp-1.0.0\lib\servlet-2.0-plus.jar;d:\program files\gnujsp-1.0.0\lib\gnujsp10.jar -d d:\jsptest -deprecation %source%

And I have created a directory on my D drive called jsptest.

And the problem is still the same:

When I try to run the "hello.jsp" example, I get the following error in
the "mod_jserv.log" file:

[12/11/1999 13:40:01:250] (ERROR) ajp12: Servlet Error: Initialization error while loading the servlet: gnujsp: missing init parameter : "scratchdir", 1

Also, before posting my original message, I had combed this mailing list's archives looking for similar problems with installation.  I'm including (towards the end) a couple of messages that indicate that spaces are not the problem (I've also tried the suggestion of placing quotes around paths that contain spaces).

However, I have not seen any messages that mention this particular problem.  But, I have tried out most of the suggestions anyway.

Help! (anyone?)

As an aside, I have to bring up this thing I keep wondering about.  All this time that we spend "tinkering" - configuring software and/or hardware each and every time we want to install a new piece of software or hardware on our computers - I wonder if it isn't a bit excessive, and what can be done to lessen the time-drain factor.  I'm not talking about GNU JSP specifically - but a lot of things that we install require this tinkering, and I, for one, don't enjoy it - I almost always get things working after a few hours or days of tinkering, but at the end of it all, I've learnt nothing except for something trivial such as "well, I needed to add a reference to this file in here instead of this other one, or I needed this quote here..." - isn't life too short to be spending days to learn such a lesson?

Please don't reply to that last paragraph on this mailing list.  I'm not trying to start that discussion here, but just to vent.  If I think of a more appropriate group to post this dilemma too, then it can be discussed there:  such as comp.install.frustration :-)

Thanks.

NT cannot handle spaces in locations.  Solution: upgrade to Linux.

Or surround D:\Program Files\blah with "", making "D:\Program Files\blah".

That's one problem.

Apart from this, I can't say much more as mine isn't working either!!!

Thanks,

Richard

the spaces in the file names should not be a problem.
I have installed into: e:\program\apache group\Apache Jserv\gnujsp-1.0b
It doesn't hurt to remove them though.

The dot in the jar file names did make me wonder when I was trying to get
things up and running.
I would suggest adopting an underscore or similar method within file names.
the gnujsp1.0.jar would be gnujsp1_0.jar
it just eliminates one more thing that could cause confusion.
