Hi,

When I try the throwing_exception.html example on Chapter 9, I recieve the next error message.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: JSP Class cannot be compiled.

No Java compiler was found to compile the generated source for the JSP.
This can usually be solved by copying manually $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar from the JDK
to the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server, followed by a Tomcat restart.
If using an alternate Java compiler, please check its installation and access path.

Loking at the tomcat logs I find the next message

23-feb-2004 13:29:48 org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler generateClass
GRAVE: Error compiling file: C:\jwsdp-1.3\work\Catalina\localhost\begjsp-ch09\org\apache\jsp\web\throwing_005fexception_jsp .java [javac] Compiling 1 source file

    [javac] if (pageContext != null) pageContext.handlePageException(t);
    [javac] ^

What can be wrong?

TIA
