           Summary: Validation error reporting
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hans@gefionsoftware.com


Jasper does not create jsp:id attributes for custom actions in the XML View of 
the document passed to a TagLibraryValidator. Errors found by a validator can 
therefore not be associated to the location of the error in the JSP page source.
The spec does not require the use of the jsp:id attribute, but considering that 
Jasper is the Reference Implementation, I feel that it really should. 

Also, Jasper reports all types of validation errors (found by Jasper itself or 
by a validator) with a full stack trace. Considering that the stack trace does 
not provide any useful information in this case, and that the error message is 
targeted to non-programmers ("page authors"), I suggest that only the validation 
error message is displayed for validation errors.
