scalate does not compile templates in tomcat

Question

I am trying to make scalate work under tomcat, but it crashes when it tries to compile the scaml templates. No problem with Jetty. I am new to this and tomcat in general. It seems also the scalatra-sbt prototype on github crashes, which makes me think it's tomcat not configured correctly.

Any hint on how to make scalate compiler work under tomcat?

Answer 1

Do you have scala-compiler.jar deployed with the other jars?
