The errorhandler.jsp throws a syntax error, when the errorpage is displayed, I get the following error:
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:
An error occurred at line: [180] in the generated java file: [/var/lib/tomcat7/work/Catalina/localhost/openmrs/org/apache/jsp/errorhandler_jsp.java]
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block
As far as I understand the errorhandler_jsp.java file gets generated from the errorhandler.jsp file. So when I look at the generated errorhandler_jsp.java file, there seems to be a missing bracket, in the line that say //end else. Someone must have written that “//end else” intentionally, and I need to know whats the deal about that.
I hope someone can help me, maybe @dkayiwa as you last edited errorhandler.jsp in 1.11.4 ?
This is actually a core issue. You can resolve it by adding a closing bracket “}” in the errorhandler.jsp file, located in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/openmrs, right above the last line, like this:
52 org.openmrs.api.context.Context.closeSession();
53 } <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HERE
54 //end else%>
But I still do not know why the last line is commented like this, maybe this has a specific meaning to the author?
You’re right, the commented } should be uncommented (and the closing %> too).
There are two scriptlets in this JSP, and the second one belongs to the else part of the first one, but as the code is not indented it’s easy to make a mistake. Because scriptlets are MORDOR.
