             Bug #: 53012
           Summary: Ant Jasper task does not name including file when
                    included file has compile error
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.35
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nicho...@nicholaswilliams.net
    Classification: Unclassified


If fileA.jsp includes fileB.jspf, and the Jasper Ant task attempts to compile
fileA.jsp but encounters an error in fileB.jspf, the error it outputs ONLY
mentions fileB.jspf. It does not mention fileA.jsp. This can be extremely
confusing, especially when fileB.jspf is included by dozens or hundreds of
JSPs. The compile error in fileB.jspf may be caused by only one of those files,
because it doesn't declare some variable that the rest of the files declare.

When Jasper outputs the compile error, it should include a "stacktrace" of
sorts, except that it's really an include trace. It shows where the error
occurred (fileB.jspf, like it already does), but then which file included that
file, and which file included that file, and so on until it gets to the file
that the compiler is actually trying to compile (fileA.jsp).

Thoughts?

I am interested in possibly contributing code for this feature. I will email
the developers' list later about it.
