Vojtech Knyttl commented on FREEMARKER-48:
------------------------------------------

This also happens when division by zero in the form. You have basically no chance of debugging:

```
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error while freemarker rendering:Ticketing/Reporting/SalesAverage.ftl : / by zero : class java.lang.ArithmeticException
	org.maite.mvc.FreemarkerService.render(FreemarkerService.java:64)

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.25-incubating

> On line `DispatcherServlet.renderView(DispatcherServlet.java:308)` I have started freemarker to render a template. During that process it uses custom method (`HrefMethod.exec(HrefMethod.java:28)`), but this method threw an exception. However Freemarker does not report a line/row of the template where this method was called making it very hard for debug.
> I would be happy if `freemarker.core.MethodCall._eval(MethodCall.java:65)` had some try-catch blcok, that in case of an exception would add lines/rows/details of the element that caused the exception.
