Jsp compile exception in WL 8.1

Question

          Hi all
          i was trying to deploy the external war(jstl.war from www.manning.com) file in
          my weblogic server .
          I just copied the *.war file into C:\TestDrive\MyDomain\mydomain\application
          directory and restarted the weblogic server.
          i got following error.
          Compilation of 'C:\TestDrive\MyDomain\mydomain\.\myserver\.wlnotdelete\extract\myserver__appsdir_jstlbook_war_jstlbook\jsp_servlet\__index.java'
          failed:
          C:\TestDrive\MyDomain\mydomain\.\myserver\.wlnotdelete\extract\myserver__appsdir_jstlbook_war_jstlbook\jsp_servlet\__index.java:142:
          'try' without 'catch' or 'finally'
          probably occurred due to an error in /index.jsp line 3:
          <c:import url="header.jsp"/>

          Same file when i deployed in Tomcat4.1 was working fine i.e. copying the *.war
          into <tomcathome>/webapps directory. I got index page without touching the code!
          Is there any extra settings has to be done for running jsp's from war files in
          WL?
          THanks in advance
