Hi, I recently upgraded tomcat3.2.2 to tomcat 4.0.4. Most of the upgrade went smoothly. Tomcat4 certainly seems faster than tomcat3 which is good.
One of the things that tomcat3 had which tomcat4 seems to lack is the ability to view the compile or runtime errors and exceptions that occur when developing a jsp page. In particular when you are doing a <jsp:include> in tomcat3 and the included page was a jsp which had a error then tomcat3 would send the stack trace of the error in the HTML that it sent back to the browser and this error message was what made up the contents of the included page. I know some people must have hated this because it tended to jumble the HTML of the including page, but I found it much easier to deal with than the way tomcat4 works which is to display the stack trace in the log file for the context and then not display anything as the result of the included file. This is less useful because the user doesn't get any indication that something has gone wrong. I'm wondering if there is a way to tell tomcat to display the error messages to the browser AND the log file? I looked through the mail archives but didn't find anything and I checked the configuration documentation for tomcat4 but I couldn't find anything. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how. If it is not currently possible maybe that is a feature I could add if someone could tell me generally where to look. Thank you for your help.
