RE: Ant's jspc task - doesn't work on Tomcat 4.1.18
A week ago, I reported that Ant's <jspc> task doesn't work with Tomcat 4.1.18. I posted a message to the ant-user mailing list (which is very low traffic BTW, a nice feature in my book) describing my issue. Last night, I received a reply from Steve Loughran, co-author of Java Development with Ant (BTW Steve - great book, you've already got my respect!) The short story is that there is something wrong with the Ant task and someone needs to "sit down and spend an evening looking at [Tomcat's] jasper." The real hope is that a Tomcat Developer could take over maintaining the <jspc> task, and then these types of issues wouldn't occur.
