JSP or XML syntax in Tomcat
Hello,
When I use the sessionTest.jsp script appended below, the xml format
"<jsp:scriptlet>" tags are being ignored and the resulting page prints
the contents of the scriptlet instead of "<h3>New Session</h3>" as I
expected. When I use the traditional "<% javacode %>" format to enter
scriptlet code, the page works as expected.
I thought you could use traditional JSP syntax or XML syntax in Tomcat.
As long as you don't mix and match. Am I screwing up the syntax??

----------------------------------------------
<jsp:directive.page session="true"/>
<html>
<head>
<title>Wineman JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<h1>Static content</h1>
<jsp:scriptlet>
if( session.isNew() )
{
out.println( "<h3>New Session</h3>" );
}
</jsp:scriptlet>
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------
Here's the result page I get for the sessionTest.jsp page from above:
Static content
if( session.isNew() ) { out.println( "
New Session
" ); }

Is this your *entire* page? If so, it's not valid XML syntax, so it's
being treated as being in the usual JSP syntax.
Chapter 5 of the JSP 1.2 spec covers all the rules about what your page
has to look like, including the fact that it must have a single outermost
<jsp:root> element that conforms to the spec's requirements, and that the
*entie* page must be specified in XML syntax.
The JSP spec is available from
<http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html">.
