Closed as program error.

Error description
When designating JSP attribute C:\SCRATCHDIR, receive
classdefnotfound.
The scratch directory (CscratchDir) is a valid name on z/OS. It
is creating the directory with this name but when it's trying to
load the class from this directory, we are changing the
directory name from c:\ into c:/ hence we are not finding the
class we are looking for.

****************************************************************
A classdefnotfound exception is raised when the JSP attribute
scratchdir specifies an unusable directory.
Problem conclusion
This fix ensures the scratchdir specified is usable and if not
redirects the scratch directory to the default directory,
thus enabling serving of JSP pages.
