compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException in Masthead par file

[Former Member]

HI,

I am a developer and customizing the masthead for the customer. When I try to compile the jsp, it gives me the following error -

*************************************************

Component : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.frameworkpage/com.sap.portal.masthead

Caused by: com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException arguments=null, null, null, null, null, null, null

C:/usr/sap/P602/j2ee/j2ee_00/cluster/server/services/servlet_jsp/work/jspTemp/irj/root/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead/work/jsp/_sapportalsjsp_HeaderiView.java:461: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : method setPageContext (javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext)

location: class com.sapportals.htmlb.taglib.TextViewTag

jspxth_hbj_textView_0.setPageContext(pageContext);

*************************************************

I believe that the MalformedInputException is due to the character encoding, changing from UTF8 to ISO-8859 or vice versa. I would appreciate it if someone could let me know as to what the problem is and if anyone has solved it.

Thanks

hi

i had the same problem. in my case, the problem was:

- too long texts and tooltips in htmlb-tags

- special german characters in the jsp

when i read my texts from a bean, everything works fine.

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply. In my case this is a SAP provided iview that i try to compile. Unforturantly, i cannot re-complie the code. This is the headerivew.jsp page in the com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par file.

Thank you very much for your reply.

According to sun the exception should be thrown :

Checked exception thrown when an input byte sequence is not legal for given charset, or an input character sequence is not a legal sixteen-bit Unicode sequence

I can't see any special characters in the output you have shown. Perhaps the jsp has a corrupt byte due to wrong transfer. Try to filter out the pure text (save as a normal text file) and then create the jsp once more.

Otherwise, it could be some settings on the compiler

I did copy and paste the JSP file into a normal Text editor. Unoforturanly, it still gives me the same error. Could anyone let me know where i can find the JSP compiler setting?

Thanks very much.
