Body content is supposed to be empty

           Summary: Body content is supposed to be empty
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: simon_g_brown@yahoo.com


Once you have defined a custom tag to have a body-content of empty in the TLD 
file, there seem to be problems using it on the page in anything but the 
shortened form (i.e. <xxx:yyy/>). You get an error when you try to use another 
form such as those defined in JSP 2.3.4 (Empty Elements), for example 
<xxx:yyy></xxx:yyy>. The error given is that the "body content is supposed to 
be empty", even though the body content is empty. Here's the top of the stack 
trace...
