[Bug 62808] New: "function-signature" text coutaining line breaks causes JasperException

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62808

            Bug ID: 62808
           Summary: "function-signature" text coutaining line breaks
                    causes JasperException
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.91
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: katsuta_k@worksap.co.jp
  Target Milestone: ---

When a function was defined in tld file with function-signature containing line
breaks causes JasperException in Tomcat v7.0.91.

For example
```
  <function>
    <name>getSomething</name>
    <function-class>com.example.Functions</function-class>
    <function-signature>
      com.example getSomething(com.example.longpackagename.Foo,
            com.example.longpackagename.Bar,
            com.example.longpackagename.Baz)
    </function-signature>
  </function>
```

This function definition works well in Tomcat v7.0.85 But not work in Tomcat
v7.0.91.
In Tomcat v7.0.91, this definition causes JasperException like bellow.

```

```

However, according to the specification of JSR 245, "function-signature" can
contain line breaks (LF or CRLF).
So I think that this behavior violates the specification.
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/jcp/jsp-2.1-fr-spec-oth-JSpec/jsp-2_1-fr-spec.pdf


The detail of definition is below.
The spec of "function-signature" element was defined in p. 3-32 as follows.
```
            function-signature element is as follows: 
                FunctionSignature ::= ReturnType S MethodName S? 
                                      ’(’ S? Parameters? S? ’)’ 
                ReturnType        ::= Type 
                MethodName        ::= Identifier 
                Parameters        ::=   Parameter 
                                      | ( Parameter S? ’,’ S? Parameters ) 
                Parameter         ::= Type 
```

The "S" was defined as follows.
p. 1-27
```
S::= XML::
```

p. 1-16
```
The prefix XML:: is used to refer to an EBNF definition in the XML 1.0 speci-
fication. Refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml
```

https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-S
```
S (white space) consists of one or more space (#x20) characters, carriage
returns, line feeds, or tabs.
```



We think that this change is ​​the cause of this problem and I'm afraid that
the same change was ​​also done in Tomcat v8.0.x and v9.0.x
ref.

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
There was a regression in 7.0.91 that is fixed for 7.0.92 in this area. I
suspect this is the same issue but need to test it to be sure.
