tomcat 4.1 displays a blank page when compiling a JSP with compilationerrors

[Christos Karras]

On one of our Tomcat 4.1.12 servers, when someone requests a JSP page that has compilation errors, he gets a blank page instead of getting a tomcat generated page showing the compilation error. So we have to look in tomcat's logs to get the error message. That's nice for a production server, but I would like to have errors directly in the browser when developping.

How can I enable error messages to be sent to the browser?

Is hiding the error pages the normal default behavior? I have some Tomcat 4.1.12 servers (one per machine, development done on NT and production servers on linux) which have always sent jsp compilation error messages to the browser by default, while others only write the messages to logs.

I tried the following:
- set debug="1" to everything which has a debug parameter in server.xml
- set jasper's "logVerbosityLevel" init-param to "DEBUG" (and left default values for other parameters)

but still no error message shown in browser. Am I missing something in the documentation?

Thanks
