Thanks a lot! This is exactly the problem. I also used EditPlus to view the code. Switching to Unix file format in EditPlus solves the problem. But obviously Tomcat compiles jsps into servlets containing an inconsisten line break format namely \n\r and solely \n mixed in one document. I can't imagine what's the use of that behaviour. For me it seems like a bug.
Anyway, thanks for your help, Volker. > -----Original Message----- > From: Shanmugam K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 12:52 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Wrong line number in stack trace > > > Mr Volker Leidl, > > I worked on the problem that you posted. > I feel that I have found out the cause of the > problem that you are facing. > I worked on a sample jsp file to get to the root > of the problem. > > What is happening is ?
