Bug#384062: tomcat5.5: Can't find java compiler

[Alessandro Polverini]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.15-1
Severity: normal

Hello,
I would like to test the tomcat5.5 from experimental (btw, thanks!) but I'm unable
to make it work.

Initially I had to define this property in the "default" file:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
(that one is autodetecte in the tomcat5 package), and also by setting:
JSP_COMPILER=javac
I always get:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: No Java compiler available

I'm using the packages from Sun:
dpkg -l | grep -i sun
ii  sun-java5-bin  1.5.0-08-1     Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0
ii  sun-java5-demo 1.5.0-08-1     Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 demos
ii  sun-java5-jdk  1.5.0-08-1     Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0
ii  sun-java5-jre  1.5.0-08-1     Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0

Thanks,
Alex
