When I got some javascript error it show some line where it occuers but when i try to find out it on jsp page not able to figure it out .. my friend told me that this line is not on jsp page this is the line belongs to when this jsp converted into servlet. Now I wanna know that if it's ture how can i see the servlet file and figure out the problem line and if it's not true then which line it indicate..?

Regarding the java script errors, you can find the line number as in IE > view source > Go to line number.
But in case of Jsp error/Exception, you sometimes get the line number shown in the exception is not in the actual jsp page.
this is the line number of the servlet class produced form jsp.
you can in case of tomcat installation directory/work/

For example :

i am using eclipse
jsp file > Loing.jsp
servlet file corrosponding to this jsp can be found at this location

E:\strutsvalidation\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\work\Catalina\localhost\StrutsValidationTest\org\apache\jsp\pages

strutsvalidation is the workspace.

It's usually easier to just debug the JavaScript using something like Firebug than go digging around in the generated servlets. If the JavaScript was external (as it usually should be) you're more likely to get more useful debug information, at least in my experience. Or run it through a tool like JSLint, which can spot some syntax errors.
