I install a fresh copy of the latest Tomcat (7.0.16), and deploy my WAR by
copying it into Tomcat's webapps/. Then I startup Tomcat and direct my
browser to my web app's welcome page --- which is a JSP. The compilation
of the JSP fails but with very little information. All I get is the line
number of the JSP where something went wrong; I get that in Tomcat's
logs/localhost.{date}.log. How can I get more information about what is
going wrong?
I am running Tomcat on MacOS 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (Intel), with
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03-384-10M3425)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02-384, mixed mode)
Thanks,
