My JSP's are not compiling correctly in Tomcat 4.0

           Summary: My JSP's are not compiling correctly in Tomcat 4.0
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dervre@requestfoods.com


I am just now upgrading to Tomcat 4.0.1 from 3.2.2 and it doesn't seem to 
compile jsp's.  The jsp's that I created are not compiling and neither are the 
ones that come as examples with tomcat.  
When I run the jsp examples that come with tomcat, they all work fine.  But, 
for example, if I go to the 'Apache Tomcat 4.0
\work\localhost\examples\jsp\mail' directory and delete the .class and 
$jsp.java files and try to hit the same sight with this mail example again, it 
gives me the following error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0
\work\localhost\examples\jsp\mail\sendmail$jsp.java:61: Incompatible type for 
method. Explicit cast needed to convert java.lang.Throwable to 
java.lang.Exception.
            if (pageContext != null) pageContext.handlePageException(t);
                                                      

I got this same error when I tried to run one of my own jsp's.
It was working correctly in tomcat 3.2.2
I understand what this is saying here and I have looked at the generated 
servlet.  Java won't covert down the inheritance tree... Throwable to 
Exception, but there is no catch for a Throwable object so the Exception picks 
it up.
