I am using TomEE 1.7.2 on Windows 7 with Eclipse. The solution that worked for me was simply changing the web.xml file for the TomEE server at localhost-config (in my IDE) so that the development init param is true:

    jsp
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet
    
        fork
        false
    
    
        xpoweredBy
        false
    
    
        development
        true
