Incorrect XML Parsing of JSP Page

           Summary: Incorrect XML Parsing of JSP Page
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: javiator@yahoo.com


Whenever JSP page is written with XML tags (i.e. <jsp:*>) the "<" char, used in 
the Java code, inserted between <jsp:scriptlet> tags results in "unterminated 
tag error".

JSP page Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Virtual exam</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>

<jsp:scriptlet>
  int nA=0;
  
  if (nA<1) // the '<' is considered as a start of an XML tag
    nA++;
</jsp:scriptlet>

</body>
</html>

The resulting Jasper error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /x.jsp(7,15) Unterminated 
&lt;jsp:scriptlet&gt; tag
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError
(DefaultErrorHandler.java:83)
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch
(ErrorDispatcher.java:402)
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError
(ErrorDispatcher.java:170)
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseXMLScriptlet(Parser.java:881)
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1591)
	org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:171)

Thanks
