HTTP STATUS Error 500

good day everyone

im having an error on my jsp...im only a newbie and im really confused on what the possible error could be...

Here is the error message:

The server encounted an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

org.apatch.jasper.jasperException: The class of JSP cannot be compiled.

The JSP file: The error occurred by -1.

anybody please help...

As the message is saying this is most likely caused by an error in the java code on your jsp page. try posting the code if you can't spot the error yourself
