    will throw the following exception:

    com.ibm.ws.jsp.webcontainerext.AbstractJSPExtensionServletWrappe
    r.translateJsp(AbstractJSPExtensionServletWrapper.java:512)
    

Local fix

  • Compile JSPs in normal mode first, then run them in debug mode
    and do not switch back to normal mode or modify the JSP.
