I just got a pointer into my original JSP (not the Java version); see copy
below. I also looked in my $CATALINA_HOME/work, and found only
directories, no files (at any depth) --- see listing below. I did not
precompile my JSP.
Here is the complaint from logs/localhost.{date}.log:

Here is my futile search for something in work/ (dates don't all match
because I shutdown before sending my original complaint, then started up
again and reproduced the problem to see if that would give me something to
look at; Tomcat is running right now):
$ find work -exec ls -ld \{\} \;

What else do you get a line number and what?
Did you precompile the JSPs in the app?
If not, the work directory contains the .java file from the parsed JSP.
