After upgrading to 3.8.1 and reading every thread to make sure I have the very latest version, I still can’t open any jsp’s in the WEB-INF folder without getting the ‘can’t open part’ message (these files also share another thing in common: they all have a ‘<%@ include file=”IncludeTop.jsp” %>’ directive at the top of their files).

I’ve done everything – started with the ‘-clean’ arg, threw away the ‘.log’ file, threw away the configuration folder – and still nothing works. My version number reads: “3.8.1+QF20040825”. I also added my webroot folder to the java build path – still no go.

If I try to comment out the include directive using a text editor, I get An ‘internal error occurred during: “Update JSP Index”‘ immediately upon saving.

I’m only using MyEclipse for its jsp editor at the moment. I haven’t set up the web application through MyEclipse so I’m using my own folder structure, as follows:

src/
war/WEB-INF/jsp/

My error.jsp file at the top level of the ‘war’ folder opens fine, but nothing in WEB-INF does. It worked before I upgraded.

Thanks-

This is a known problem when using ME with non-web projects. Make sure the /war directory is in your source path if you cannot convert the project to a web project. Or the best workaround is to add web project capabilities and set “war” as your webroot folder. This won’t change anything about your project (except add a web.xml file if you don’t already have one), it just sets up the project structure for ME to “understand” it better.

Thanks, Riyad. It’s fixed. I added web project capabilities and set ‘war’ as the webroot. That was easy!

Glad to hear it worked!
