Jeff,
Quick fix to see the trace on the screen.
In your error page, use:
<%= exception.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(out)) %>
The printStackTrace method is also implemented to take a PrintWriter
argument as the
Writer to which to print. PrintWriters can be created using other writers,
so this
does work (this is what I used while playing with JSWDK).
