Weblogic 9 and JSP compiler errors

Question

Hello everyone,
          I am having problems with my Jsps in my EAR file deployed on WL 9.0.
          I have a Jsp called upms.jsp that contains the following code snippets:
          After my import statements, I have some code that creates a resource bundle that accesses a properties file:
           <%!
               ResourceBundle bundle = null;
               public void jspInit() {
               bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("conf.properties");
          %>
          I get an error from the above code:
          upms.jsp:3:11: 'try' statement has neither 'catch' nor 'finally' clause
                    import="java.util.ResourceBundle"
          ^----------------------^
          I am totally clueless as to what that error means.
          Next I declare a bean I use in the jsp:          
               <jsp:useBean
                    id="userPrefsManagerBean"
          class="controllers.beans.UserPreferencesManagerBean"
               scope="session">
               </jsp:useBean>
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          I get these errors from the above portion:
          upms.jsp:27:3: The qualifier of this name is a package, which cannot contain fields.
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          ^-------------^
          upms.jsp:27:3: The qualifier of this name is a package, which cannot contain fields.
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          ^-------------^
          upms.jsp:27:3: Expression expected (found '.' instead)
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          ^-------------^
          upms.jsp:27:3: Syntax error: expected ) (found 'class' instead)
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          ^-------------^
          upms.jsp:27:3: Syntax error: expected <identifier> (found ')' instead)
               <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          ^-------------^
          Has anyone encountered these before?
          This jsp worked perfectly well when I deployed my EAR file on JBoss...no such luck using Weblogic.
          Is there something I am missing here? I appreciate any help.
          Cheers, :-)

Mildred,
          Two suggestions:
          1) use option weblogic.jspc's "-keepgenerated", you can keep the generated
          servlet's source code.
          Please paste it here.
          2) Can you create a simple reproducer(e.g. a war), and put it here, so that
          we can debug it and give more clues.
          To reproduce your issue, I write a simple a simple
          UserPreferencesManagerBean classs below :
          package controllers.beans;
          public class UserPreferencesManagerBean {
          private int p1;
          public void setP1(int p)
          p1 = p;
          public int getP1()
          return p1;
          But it works(oh, I run it under 910MP1).
          We cannot tell too much without your further information
          Thanks

          I am still fighting with this issue.. Dang!
          I don't know what to change in my JSP because the WL JSP compiler errors are
          so out there..
          Here is the first portion of the JSP file:
          <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
          session="true"
          pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
          import="java.util.ArrayList"
          import="java.util.HashSet"
          import="java.util.Date"
          import="java.util.Collections"
          import="java.util.ResourceBundle"
          %>
          <%!
          ResourceBundle bundle = null;
          public void jspInit() {
          bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("conf.properties");
          %>
          <jsp:useBean
          id="userPrefsManagerBean"
          class="controllers.beans.UserPreferencesManagerBean"
          scope="session">
          </jsp:useBean>
          <jsp:setProperty name="userPrefsManagerBean" property="*" />
          Below is the error I get from this section alone (after precompiling):
          upms.jsp:3:11: 'try' statement has neither 'catch' nor 'finally' clause
          import="java.util.ArrayList"
