Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Developer Sample Guide

Debugging JSPs

The JSP classes are created at PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/compiled directory.

You can find compilation and runtime errors in the Desktop debug log at PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/logs/portal-instance/portal.0.0.log.

Also, all JSPProvider based Desktop channels have a property called showExceptions. This property, by default, is set to false; setting it to true causes the JSP exception to show up as the content of the channel.
