[Wrapper-user] When JBoss Running As a Service With the Wrapper Getting Unable to Compile JSP Jasper Exceptions

[David B. <dav...@so...>]

Hi All

I have been running JBoss from the run.bat file for a while, but wanted 
to run it as a service. I have been able to configure it to actually 
run, but when I deploy a JSP I get the following exception.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    at 
org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:479)

With the root cause of the exception as;

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.resolveFile(FileUtils.java:330)
    at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.resolveFile(Project.java:618)

    at 
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:289)
    at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:240)

Compilation is fine when running under the run.bat file, but not when 
run as a service resulting in the above exceptions. I have JBOSS_HOME, 
JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME all set as environment variables. I am running 
the following configuration;

JBoss 3.0.4
Ant 1.5
JDK 1.3.1_15
Windows 2003

Any help is greatly appreciated.
