Ambiguous error message for syntax errors

           Summary: Ambiguous error message for syntax errors
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hans@gefionsoftware.com


If you forget to use the shorthand notation for an empty custom actions element,
e.g. use <foo:bar> instead of <foo:bar/>, the error message you get is:

  End of content reached while more parsing required: tag nesting error?

It contains no clue to which element is in error, making it extremely hard to
find it. It would be nice if it at least included information about the name
of the element ("foo:bar" in this case) as in Tomcat 3, but ideally it should 
also include the location of the opening tag that is not closed correctly.
