The code generated by <jsp:plugin> is not suitable for XHTML

           Summary: The code generated by <jsp:plugin> is not suitable for
                    XHTML
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.29
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sfzhi@yahoo.com


when a JSP file contains the following fragment:

<jsp:plugin type="applet" codebase="./test" code="TestApplet.class">
<jsp:fallback>
<p>Failed</p>
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>

The content produced by it looks like this:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http:
//java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2.2/jinstall-1_2_2-win.cab#Version=1,2,2,0">
<PARAM name="java_code" value="TestApplet.class">
<PARAM name="java_codebase" value="./test">
<PARAM name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;">
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;" pluginspage="http://java.sun.
com/products/plugin/" java_code="TestApplet.class" java_codebase="./test"
>
<NOEMBED>
</COMMENT>

<p>Failed</p>

</NOEMBED></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

This has been tested for MSIE "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.
0; NetCaptor 7.2.2)" and Opera "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.
0) Opera 7.21  [en]". Usually the generated code works as intended, but for 
XHTML it is not acceptable for 2 reasons: the tag names must be lowercase and 
the tags must be properly nested (in this case <COMMENT> is partially overlapped 
with <EMBED> and <NOEMBED>). IE tolerates such content and processes it as 
expected, but Opera reports an XML parsing error (unless Content-Type returned 
by the server is text/html, when it is parsed as HTML rather than XML). 
Moreover, neither of <embed>, <noembed> <comment> tags is a valid XHTML tag.
I believe the JSP compiler should check the "contentType" attribute of the <%
@page %> directive and generate appropriate content for the given content type.
