jsp 1.2 and escaping quote marks
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="1.2">
<html>
<img src="foo.jpg" alt='My "quoted" text.'/>
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="My "quoted" text."/>
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="My "quoted" text."/>
</html>
</jsp:root>
All 3 of these lines cause compile errors. I'm using XSLT to generate
files which _may_ be JSP files (they may be static files, it's determined
when the xslt runs). Because of this, I'm not particularly enthused about
manually sticking backslashes in front of my quote characters.
What I want to know is, how does tomcat 4 know to escape the quote marks
around foo.jpg, as in:
out.write("<img src=\"foo.jpg\" alt='My "quoted" text.'/>");
...but not around "quoted"? Is it a bug, or is this an expected compile
error in my jsp?
Thanks,
Rich

Umm... That's the second example in my original post.

Does this work:
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="My "quoted" text." />
