No image, copy relevant text – Ori Marko Nov 28 '18 at 11:34 — Ori Marko, Nov 28 '18 at 11:34

If it just started with no code changes, I'd guess your WebSphere version was updated - maybe a fixpack applied - and something is being checked more strictly now.

I'd also try changing the JSP to put the entire scriptlet expression on one line. That is, <%= your-variable %>. I can't right now find any statement of whether it has to be on one line, but all the examples I've found are that way, and I've definitely seen WebSphere become more strict on things like this as fixpacks are applied.

You can also try deleting the compiled JSP file from the profile directory's temp directory (e.g. /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/temp/...) to force a fresh recompile.

sure let me try that and let u know. – Bhaskara Arani Nov 28 '18 at 13:50
Is there any patch with WAS8.5 was causing this issue? – Bhaskara Arani Dec 05 '18 at 17:51
I was asking you whether you'd recently applied a patch. You should be able to tell what version you're on. But if so, it's very possible that multi-line scriptlet expressions, and/or expressions with comments, aren't valid, and that WebSphere only now just started detecting/enforcing that. – dbreaux Dec 05 '18 at 19:18
It's my production box, we didnt have the control over it, we asked the same question websphere admin team, they are not providing any info regarding this. Thats why we researching – Bhaskara Arani Dec 06 '18 at 06:01

After removing the commented line in between the java scriplet code, Issue is resolve. Something like this <%versionProcess.getProcessNextVesrion(pn)%>
