Wow, how rare that a newer version should lose this feature. So the
answer then, if I want the code and the correct line printed out is to
revert to Tomcat 5.0? - Dave

Respectfully, I submit that the problem is that something works "less well"
when comparing 5.5 and 5.0
On 5.0.29, the original poster's page provides this error output:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /foobar.jsp
Generated servlet error:
/usr/local/apps/tomcat-5.0.29/work/Catalina/www.foo.com/_/org/apache/jsp/foobar_jsp.java:52:
incompatible types
found : java.lang.Object
required: java.lang.String
String v1 = session.getAttribute(attr);
^
which accurately locates both the 'compiled' source error (line 52 of
/org/apache/jsp/foobar_jsp) *and* identifies and echos the offending line. It
"inaccurately" identifies the error as occuring on line 2 of the JSP.
I've just installed 5.5.20 and tried out the patch from this website
(previously discussed on this list):
http://www.tfenne.com/jasper/
Unfortunately, I can't get it to work, so I'm either doing something wrong, or
it won't work with 5.5.20
For shiggles, I tried the following source JSP:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<% %>
<% Object v = new String("b");%>
<% session.setAttribute("a", v);%>
<% %>
<% Enumeration e = session.getAttributeNames(); %>
<% while (e.hasMoreElements()) { %>
<% String attr = (String) e.nextElement(); %>
<% String v1 = session.getAttribute(attr); %>
<% String v2 = session.getValue(attr); %>
<% out.println("attr: " + attr + " v1:" + v1 + " v2:" +v2 +
"<BR>\n"); %>
<% } %>
And the output now correctly labelled the line of the JSP in which the error
occured, but again it neither outputs the line in the 'compiled' source nor
echoes the actual line in error, as it did under 5.0.x. Plus, who wants to
write JSP's like that?
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 9 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to String
An error occurred at line: 10 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to String

The problem is that the JSP is not compiled on the browser. Even if it was,
you would be bound on functionality provided by the particular browser. The
servlet container might send an error in the response but that would be up
to the container provider as well. Because these behaviors are not bound by
standards, you can't count on them to always be there if you once had what
you want. There should be server side logs that will show your problem.

Thanks. So there's absolutely no way within the web browser to print
out the line of code that caused the error? In the example, the line
i would've liked to see in the web browser would have been:
String v1 = session.getAttribute(attr);
Thanks, - Dave
