Hi,

Can anybody help me with the problem:

I am new to J2EE. I followed the Sun J2EE tutorial instructions
earlier in tutorial and I set the JAVA_HOME, J2EE_HOME, ANT_HOME and
PATH envionment variables.

And I got the following message when running the web application, but
what means by the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server. As I am
using the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8, I
can't find the common/lib directory. Anyone can suggest how to solve
the problem?

Many Thanks

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

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.
