Hi Vinod,
(how come you're not yet banned on the forum with such an unrealistic last name?

)
regarding your jsp, that's NOT a jstl problem.
If you put in your jsp only this code (I did it for you):
<BODY>
<%throw new ArithmeticException();%>
</BODY>
in the generated servlet _jsp.java you got (in the _jspService method):
out.write("<BODY>\r\n");
throw new ArithmeticException();
out.write("\r\n");
out.write("</BODY>\r\n");
and this
will NOT compile because the compiler detects that the code after the throw statement is unreachable. You'll get this in any java class (with the recent compilers), this has nothing to do whith <c:catch>
The <c:catch> will catch the execution errors/exceptions, but this is a compilation one.
Hope this helps
