Certain tag file pathnames lead to compile errors

           Summary: Certain tag file pathnames lead to compile errors
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ecarmich@alumni.rice.edu


Tomcat can't compile certain tag files:

1) Tag files whose relative pathname contains a component (one of the 
directories, or the filename without the ".tag" suffix) which is not a legal 
Java identifier.  Tomcat converts the relative pathname to a fully-qualified 
class name, and if the parts aren't all legal Java identifiers, the Java 
compiler will throw an error.

2) Tag files in /<some_directories>/<immediate_parent_directory>/ when there's 
a tag file in /<some_directories>/ with 
filename "<immediate_parent_directory>.tag".  Here the problem is that the 
package of the tag files in /<some_directories>/<immediate_parent_directory>/ 
clashes with the class of the "<immediate_parent_directory>.tag" tag file.  
For instance, the tag file /WEB-INF/tags/foo/bar.tag will have package name 
org.apache.jsp.tag.web.foo, which conflicts with the fully-qualified class 
name of the tag file /WEB-INF/tags/foo.tag.

I will attach a patch that fixes this.
