Thank  L you.  Out of habit I had done the FTP upload of the WAR file in binary mode C and it did end up with 512 byte fixed length records.  I did a SET  K FILE/ATTR=RFM:STMLF on the file and then restarted Tomcat and it attempted  M to unpack the WAR file the first time I referenced the webapp from a browser.   M I now have an entirely different problem, though.  The webapp runs just fine  K on a local Tomcat v4.1.30 installation on WinXP using JDK 1.4.2.  However,  I using CSWS_JAVA v2.1 [Tomcat v4.1.24] with JDK v1.4.2 on my Alpha system  I results in the following error when attempting to access the initial JSP   page of my webapp:  H org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception forwarding for name login: B org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPO 	at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java) H 	at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java)  0 [snipped remainder of Java exception stack dump]  J It looks like I'll be heading over to one of the java-specific newsgroups 6 here shortly to try and track down what's going wrong.     --   Chuck Chopp   8 ChuckChopp (at) rtfmcsi (dot) com http://www.rtfmcsi.com  @ RTFM Consulting Services Inc.     864 801 2795 voice & voicemail2 103 Autumn Hill Road              864 801 2774 fax Greer, SC  29651  , Do not send me unsolicited commercial email.   ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 21:32:23 -0400 * From: Chuck Chopp <ChuckChopp@rtfmcsi.com>D Subject: Re: CSWS_JAVA v2.1 - won't unpack "war" files automatically9 Message-ID: <ksvYc.44677$cx.31797@bignews4.bellsouth.net>    Chuck Chopp wrote:  A > It looks like I'll be heading over to one of the java-specific  C > newsgroups here shortly to try and track down what's going wrong.   L OK, maybe this issue needs to be discussed here.  The same WAR file deploys M & executes properly on the Tomcat implementations on WinXP [Tomcat v4.1.30 /  L JDK v1.4.2] and NetWare v6.5 [Tomcat v4.1.28 / JRE v1.4.2].

At this point I'm at a loss to L explain why I'm getting the failure to compile a class for a JSP file on my
