Compressed page blank when try..catch is encountered

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I’m using the htmlcompressor custom JSP tags to compress the output of JSP 
pages. There is a <compress:html enabled="${htmlCompEnabled}" 
compressJavaScript="${jsCompEnabled}" removeComments="${removeComment}" 
compressCss="${cssCompEnabled}"> tag at the top of the page and 
</compress:html> at the bottom of the page

    My JSP pages has come try..catch clauses. Whenever the page encounters one of the exceptions handled by these try catch block, the page is displayed blank. And when I look at 'view source' there is nothing there.

Is this a known issue? Any possible solutions?
