Hi Christos,
Quick Question for you. Does your JSP page have an include in it?
Example:
Login.jsp
This page includes another jsp page called LoginForm.jsp.
Does your jsp page have this? If so, I've noticed that my pages will show
up blank if there is an error, where there is an include. Is this your
situation?
If so... because you are developing, the easiest way would be to call the
include jsp directly (http://localhost/xxx/LoginForm.jsp). This will then
give you the error in the browser.
I've noticed this in tomcat, as well as Java Web Server when i first used
that ages ago...
Hope this helps,
...Robin
