Rich: Just an idea: remove the offending line from your jsp. then compile it. Look a the servlet which your jsp generates (usually in a "work" dirctory) and then search for the word "application". (You probably won't find it.)
I found "ServletContext application = null;" decalred in the" _jspService" method of one of my jsps. What do you have? If you have something else, you could substitute that name for "application".
