I'm not sure there's a good way to do this in JSTL, but thanks to your help
Martin, I was able to get the stack trace to print in JSP, which I've tried
to do many times over the last couple years! The code looks like this:
<%
Exception exception =
((Exception)request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.exception"));
exception.printStackTrace(new java.io.PrintWriter(out));
%>
