The "null" has gone, but so has the servlet filename and line number, and the result is badly formatted: <%@ page import="sss" %> now produces: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPimport sss; ^ 1 error Notice the missing separator between "JSP" and "import", the missing filename and line number, and the misplaced caret. Also findMapping is called twice unnecesarrily. Having looked a little further into this, I see that the intent is to map the servlet errors back to corresponding lines in the JSP page. This has been implemented for scriplets, but not for directives, so findMapping simply hasn't got the data it needs. The ideal fix would be to implement the line number mapping for directives, but that seems like a fairly major change which is probably not recommended given that the 4.0 release is imminent, and given that Jasper is being comprehensively rewritten for some future release. So for now it makes more sense to just ensure that the error message is properly generated. As a minimal fix http://www.greenhills.co.uk/mak/apache/jasper-errormsg.diff produces: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP /crab/mak/tomcat/work/localhost/example/a$jsp.java:3: Class sss not found in import. import sss; which at least restores the servlet filename and formatting. Alternatively http://www.greenhills.co.uk/mak/apache/jasper-errormsg2.diff is a patch that recognises this case specifically. The advantage is that the error formatting is more similar to the other cases, the disadvantage is that it's really not very informative. Note that I have not included the necesarry translations for _es and _ja. I would suggest something like the first patch is preferable.
