Hi; I'm trying to work on some JSP files on Rigel - pages that have been functioning since 2005 are working fine but any new pages or modifications I make to existing pages throw an Error 500 during compilation.

I'm speculating that there's an issue on the Rigel server - is anyone else that is assigned to Rigel experiencing similar issues?

Thanks

That's what I thought - try this page however:

This code hasn't been changed since 2005 (per the URL) and responds as below:

I'm having other issues with respect to GoogleWebToolkit - it seems that the version of Resin on the Rigel server is at V2.x - a 2004 vintage - and therefore I've asked support to move my hosting to a slightly more up-to-date server.  Hopefully, that move will resolve all my current issues

I still never got to the real reason why JSPs weren't working for me (when they had been working previously and I hadn't made any code changes or new uploads).  However, as per my other post, moving to a new and updated server (Resin 3.x, JRE 1.6.?) made the issue go away.
