Problem building Ajax

[JoshuaPrismon]

I am having a problem building the Ajax project. I set the deploy_dir, deploy_user, deploy_password, ant deploy from the FRANK tree.

All goes well till I try to open the Xforms demo, then I get:

n

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Failed to load or instantiate TagLibraryValidator class: org.apache.taglibs.standard.tlv.JstlCoreTLV

It appears the that JSTL.jar file is there. Anyone seen this before?

Note, the exact same thing happens with head instead of Frank

Note: Standard.jar does have the class:
[josh@eponine lib]$ jar tvf standard.jar | grep jstlCoreTLV

Its possible that the xforms demo has suffered from some code rot. Unfortunately, as we continually evolve the code base, the demo code gets left behind and seldom updated.

I'll try finding someone who may be able to help but no guarantees :/

Should have been more explicit, this also happens with several other examples, most notably the tree demo. It's more a issue of which jars are packaged, and how they are declared rather then code rot.

Is the XFORMS code safe to use? I have been working on a very large zimlet fType or a while, and writing forms code is tedious, so I was looking at this.

[pshah]

Yes its safe. In fact, the admin console is running off of the xforms codebase for over a year now so its very stable.

Looks like this is more of a build issue which I'm not as familiar with. Hopefully, someone else will chime in and offer some help.

What I've found around the Internet is that this looks like a mismatch error. Are you sure that you have all code from Frank or all code from head? Maybe you are mismatching some of the projects and it's causing this error.

Yep. I started with head, gave up, nuked the directory and built from FRANK. Both had the same behavior. I can also try overwriting the versions I pulled from CVS, with the ones from the Tomcat implm.
