I had this problem a while ago with resin. here's my mail about it.

---snip---
After turning the compiler to javac, I got a better error message.

I determined that the problem was the <webwork:if> on line 34 of
viewissue.jsp has line breaks in the 'test' property. I don't know if
it's something I did, or if it came like that.

I removed the line breaks so that the whole <webwork:if test="..."> was
on one line, and it works fine.

fyi.
