I have a trivial JSP, that I use to test the error handling code for my application (in a nutshell, I get e-mail about all unhandled Exceptions). So I use the simple JSP shown below to trigger the error handler.

<%@
        page session="true"
%>
<%
        throw new Exception();
%>

Unfortunately, MyEclipse marks this JSP as invalid due to “Unreachable code”. Is there some way to get around this? The problem is purely cosmetic, since I know the code is valid, but sometimes I incorrectly assume it is the reason for the project not being marked clean, which of course is quite dangerous.

Workaround is to add “if(true)” before the throw clause.

I believe this error is correct since throwing an error would cause the page evaluation to stop in the servlet container… much like adding a return statement in the middle of the page would screw up rendering.

The workaround worked perfectly; thanks!

No problem, I’m glad it worked (albeit a little strange).
