Bug: 3.3b1, cannot compile auto-generated java (ServletException(Throwable))

[Andrew Cooke <an...@intertrader.com>]

Hi,

After asking about classloader/XML problems I followed some advice and 
tried 3.3-b1.  This gives the following error:

In the auto-generated JSP code (in work/DEFAULT/jsp) the lines

             } catch (Throwable throwable) {
                 throw new ServletException(throwable);
             }

near the end of the jsp code generates the error

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile 
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3-b1\work\DEFAULT\jsp\pay_in_1.java:125: Incompatible 
type for constructor. Can't convert java.lang.Throwable to java.lang.String.
                 throw new ServletException(throwable);

1 error

The installation is pretty standard - all the app-related jars are in the 
apps directory and I'm using JDK1.3 and Apache 1.3.12 (OpenSA 0.2).
