How to get Details on NullPointerException in JSP?

Programmer Question

I am getting a null pointer exception in jsp and I want to find out what line has the null variable so i can fix it. Is there any simple way to do this? The printStackTrace didn't seem to give me any relevant information.

Stack Trace:
