--- Comment #1 from Tim Funk <funk...@apache.org> 2009-11-05 11:49:49 UTC --- I believe the NPE is this: page.visit(errVisitor); Which is caused by JavacErrorDetail detail = ErrorDispatcher.createJavacError( jspFrame.getMethodName(), this.ctxt.getCompiler().getPageNodes(), null, javaLineNumber, ctxt); So one wonders ... why is this.ctxt.getCompiler().getPageNodes() null? It could be that compilation is done in 2 passes. And the first pass is validation. So if this fails - then getPageNodes would be null. So the easy fix may be this (not sure if its the right fix)...
