Hi, Using MacPorts to install tomcat5 on OS 10.4.11 on my Intel MacBook Pro, I am getting a build error as appended below. Someone pointed me that I was using an old version of JspTagException, so I had looked at servlet23-api.jar file in /opt/local/share/java, and found the JspTagException class had no constructor defined for JspTagException(String msg, Throwable rootCause) although I saw it's parent JspException class had constructor with 2nd parameter of Throwable. Would this be the cause of this build error? It makes me wonder if servlet23 MacPort package has any incompatibility issues with jakarta-taglibs. Any ideas?
