JSP Error -- Unknown attribute type (String) for attribute

           Summary: JSP Error -- Unknown attribute type (String) for
                    attribute
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: benjc-list@novisum.com


The following error occurs in a web app I'm working on, and it all works fine in
 Tomcat 4. If it's a change in JSP syntax or libraries, I certainly can't find
it anywhere...

I looked on the net and found such things as:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/tomcat-devel/2003-February/046448.html&e=747

But I can't see anywhere that answers the problem, so I have to assume it's a
bug since Tomcat 4 works ... until I can find if it's a coding error that is new
in JSP 2.0 and Tomcat 5.



Here is the first line from one error:

 /layout/search-body-layout.jsp(12,0) Unknown attribute type (String) for
attribute action.'

Here's the JSP that goes with it:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java"  %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-nested.tld" prefix="nested" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-layout.tld" prefix="layout" %>


<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/AppTags.tld' prefix='app' %>

<nested:form action="search" method="Post">



And then the full stacktrace from another page...

And the code for it:

<logic:present name="searchResults">
<logic:notEmpty name="searchResults" property="message(fullQueryTime)">

<br>Query Time: <bean:write name="searchResults"
property="message(fullQueryTime)"/> ms   <bean:write name="searchResults"
property="message(fullQueryTimeSeconds)"/> seconds
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  SQL Query Time: <bean:write name="searchResults"
property="message(queryTime)"/> ms   <bean:write name="searchResults"
property="message(queryTimeSeconds)"/> seconds

</logic:notEmpty>
</logic:present>

It has the same JSP init tags as the previous example.
