Hi friends!

I'm trying to execute an application made with struts and apache tomcat and I have found the next error:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

I have checked all the files and seem to be ok and I don´t know the possible reason of the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's very interesting that the stack trace shows other Jasper classes loaded and executing, but it can't find JspSourceDependent. I dug around on Google a bit and found this thread addressing a similar stack trace:

http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=102221

The conclusion was that he needed to remove the "<distributable/>" element from his web.xml. I've never seen this element before, though -- do you have anything interesting in your web.xml we should know about?

Thanks for your answer Jon,

I don´t have any "<distributable>" object in my web.xml file. In fact, I never heard about it.

I don´t have any special thing in web.xml just as usual, the servlet configuration, the welcome file, and so on.

Bernardo.
