JSP compile error ANT to Maven conversion

Question

I have a project that I am migrating from ANT to Maven. The ANT project successfully deployees and runs. However, I am getting the following JSP compile error when I try to run the mavenized project:

11:16:00,842 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/ntsouthwest].[jsp]] (http-localhost/127.0.0.1:8080-2) Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

I have verified that the class exists in the war and that the attribute also exists.

Make sure `TracingConstants` class exists in the dependency libraries for the war project or in your war project. Also, if you can, [**stop using scriptlets at all**](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3177733/1065197). — Luiggi Mendoza, Jul 02 '14 at 15:23
Not sure what you are saying. Do I need to add this to the dependency section of the manifest? — Mike Barnes, Jul 02 '14 at 15:33
In maven, you have a `` section in your pom.xml file. There, you should provide all the external libraries for your project. In one of those libraries, `TracingConstants` should be defined. Make sure you have the necessary dependencies. — Luiggi Mendoza, Jul 02 '14 at 15:39

You have an old version of TracingConstants (without the constant) in an LFC jar which you put in Artifactory and established a dependency upon. The new version of TracingConstants (with the constant) is in the ntcore jar. Runtime is using the LFC version rather than the ntcore version.
