My webapp has been running complete fine with Tomcat 5.0.x.
Now, I just installed Tomcat 5.5.12 out of the box and deployed the same web app, and I got blank pages for jsp pages.
To test it, I created 2 files named junk.html and junk.jsp file (the "Hello world" kind of file) in the root dir of the app. After deploying the app, I can access junk.html without any problem; however, junk.jsp returns an empty page (and "View page source" returns empty, too).
Another strange thing is that I still can access the jsp files under /webapps/jsp-samples without any problem while accessing the jsp files under my context returns empty pages (and WITHOUT any error in either the log files or the browser).
Yet, another strange problem is that if I deploy the same app. to Tomcat 5.5.20+, the app. works completely fine. I have some constraints in the production environment that I have to use Tomcat 5.5.12.
Does anyone have this kind of experience or some pointer as to what the problem might be?
Thank you.
