If Tomcat gave me this message:
see the compiler error output for details
where can I go to check the compiler error output?

The Tomcat error message includes the file name of the translated JSP.
For instance, if I place this JSP in webapps/myApp/bad.jsp:

Tomcat will say:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 0 in the jsp file: /bad.jsp
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.
[javac] Compiling 1 source file

[javac] location: class org.apache.jsp.bad_jsp
[javac] out.print( foobar );

This is true, but my output looks like this:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.file com\novell\ecb\ldap\ReadLdapEntry.class not found arguments=null, null, null, null, null, null, null
1 error
It generates a login_jsp.java file. I can go to tomcat\work\standalone\...\
and try to compile login_jsp.java
with javac login_jsp.java
and I get:
C:\PROGRA~1\Tomcat\work\Standalone\localhost\lite>javac login_jsp.java
error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.file com\novell\ecb\ldap\ReadLdapEntry.class not found argument
ull, null, null, null, null, null, null
1 error
I do have the class it refers to in my ClassPath variable. I guess I am asking for a hint on where to look next.

Tomcat 4 ignores the environment CLASSPATH - look at the Class-Loader how-to page in the online documentation - under the Administrators heading.

Tomcat doesn't recognize CLASSPATH! I'll be damned. I'm glad I asked.
