I updated the FAQ to include this:
40) Help! JSP Reference implementation doesn't work!
There is a problem with the startserver.bat file that comes with the
Reference implementation when it goes to try and compile JSPs. The problem is
that
the tools.jar file is missing from the classpath. The symptom occurs as a
page like:
Unhandled error! You might want to consider having an error page to report
such errors more gracefully
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main
at com.sun.jsp.compiler.Main.compile(Main.java:194)
at com.sun.jsp.runtime.JspLoader.loadJSP(JspLoader.java:114)

com.sun.jsp.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.loadIfNecessary(JspServlet.

at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:840)
To fix it, you need to add the tools.jar file from your JDK 1.2 LIB
directory to the classpath that is in the startserver.bat file (or just add it
to your
environment variables).
